Robotic medical instrument system

A robotic medical apparatus for performing a securing procedure, at an internal body site, said apparatus comprising:

• a medical instrument member having a working end adapted to be disposed at the internal body site at which the securing procedure is to be performed;
• and a controller for receiving a remotely generated control command for controlling the motion of said medical instrument member to perform the securing procedure;
• said medical instrument member including, at a distal section thereof, a securing tool having one and another ends adapted to be disposed at opposite sides of a tissue that is to be secured;
• and
• at least one of said tool ends adapted to hold a securing member for securing said tissue.

A robotic medical apparatus for performing a medical procedure or application on an anatomy, said apparatus comprising:

• a first medical instrument member having a working end adapted to be disposed at an internal target area at which the medical procedure or application is to be performed;
• a second medical instrument member having a working end adapted to be disposed at an internal target area at which the medical procedure or application is to be performed;
• said first medical instrument member disposed so as to extend into the anatomy at a first ingress location;
• said second medical instrument member disposed so as to extend into the anatomy at a second ingress location different than said first ingress location;
• a controller for receiving remotely generated control commands for respectively controlling the motion of said first and second medical instrument members so that said first and second medical instrument members are separately and controllably operable to perform the medical procedure or application;
• both said first and second medical instrument members comprising active work elements at said respective member working ends and disposed at opposite sides of an anatomic wall;
• and
• said active work elements being controlled cooperatively to perform the medical procedure or application.
