    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for renal puncturing assistance in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) surgery. The system includes a robotic device having an end effect or including an image acquisition unit, needle holding mechanism and a guide wire mechanism. The needle holding mechanism accommodates a puncture needle with corresponding guide wire provided by the guide wire mechanism.
