Abstract
Robotics surgical systems, instrument mounts, and endoscopes are disclosed. A robotic surgical system includes a robotic arm, an instrument mount arranged at a distal end of the robotic arm, and an endoscope comprising a housing and a shaft. The housing is configured to be mounted to the instrument mount, and the shaft extends from the housing in a distal direction. A cable is connected to the housing and extends from the housing in a distal direction and along a lateral side of the housing.
Claims8
A robotic surgical system, comprising:
- an instrument mount arrangeable at a distal end of a robotic arm;
- an endoscope comprising a shaft and a housing having a distal-facing surface, wherein the housing is configured to be mounted to the instrument mount, and the shaft extends from the housing in a distal direction;
- a cable connected to the housing and extending from the distal-facing surface in the distal direction and along a lateral side of the housing wherein the cable comprises an optical line and an electrical line, the optical line is configured to transmit light between the endoscope and an external illumination source, and the electrical line is configured to transmit electrical signals between the endoscope and an external processor.
