Robotic surgical system with removable portion and method of disassembling same

A robotic surgical system comprising:

• (a) a base;
• (b) a controller;
• (c) a first robotic arm extending outwardly from the base;
• (d) a surgical instrument configured to interact with a patient, wherein the surgical instrument is operatively coupled with the first robotic arm;
• (e) a second robotic arm extending outwardly from the base;
• and
• (f) a tool operatively coupled with the second robotic arm, wherein the tool includes a disassembly feature configured to disconnect at least a portion of the surgical instrument from the robotic surgical system in response to instructions from the controller, wherein the disassembly feature includes an end effector having a clamp arm, wherein the clamp arm includes an arm configured to interact with tissue of the patient.

A method of disassembling a robotic surgical system, wherein the robotic surgical system includes a controller, first and second robotic arms, a surgical instrument, and a tool, wherein the first robotic arm is operatively coupled with the surgical instrument, wherein the tool is in communication with the controller, the method comprising:

• (a) performing a mechanical test on the surgical instrument;
• (b) communicating between the controller and the surgical instrument to thereby determine reusability of the surgical instrument based on a mechanical test;
• and
• (c) based on the determined reusability, disassembling a portion of the surgical instrument that is operatively coupled the first robotic arm using a disassembly feature of the tool that is operatively coupled second robotic arm.
