A trocar holder for a manipulator of a robotic surgical system, comprising:
- a base element for securing the trocar holder to the manipulator;
- a clamp element which is replaceably connected to the base element via a coupling mechanism and on which two limbs, connected via a spine, movable relative to each other in a clamp plane and with free tips are formed;
- a clamp mechanism for opening and closing the limbs;
- and
- a receiving element for a trocar;
- a radial-axial bearing is formed in an area of the tips of each of the two limbs;
- the receiving element is formed as an axle and has a continuous opening perpendicular through the axle to feed the trocar through;
- wherein the receiving element is prevented from moving axially by the radial-axial bearings when the limbs are closed.
