Abstract
A robotic surgical instrument system for performing a surgical procedure is envisaged wherein the system is a dual articulated arm configuration robot that enables entry into an operative space via an access port. Surgical arms are inserted into the operative space in a substantially straight line and then articulated inside the operative space. The articulation of the surgical arms by a surgical console is achieved using ‘triangulation’.
Claims10
A robotic surgical instrument system, said system characterized by:
- a plurality of articulating arms having at least two articulation joints, said articulating arms being adapted to be inserted into an operative space in a substantially straight configuration and further adapted to controllably articulate inside the operative space, with at least three degrees of freedom of movement;
- at least one access port adapted to receive said articulating arms;
- and
- controlling means adapted to control the articulation of said articulating arms inside the operative space to perform a surgical procedure.
A robotic surgical instrument system, said system characterized by:
- a plurality of articulating arms adapted to be inserted into an operative space in a substantially straight configuration and further adapted to controllably articulate inside the operative space, with at least three degrees of freedom of movement;
- at least one access port adapted to receive said articulating arms;
- controlling means adapted to control the articulation of said articulating arms inside the operative space to perform a surgical procedure;
- and
- at least one vision system adapted to be inserted into said operative space, said vision system being selected from the group consisting of a fiber optic scope, an insertable camera system and a separate insertable camera
A method for a robotic surgical system to access an operative space, said method comprising the following steps:
- making an incision in a patient's body;
- mounting an access port on the incision;
- inserting a plurality of articulating arms into an operative space via the access port in a substantially straight configuration;
- controlling said articulating arms inside the operative space to reach a pre-determined operation site by triangulation;
- and
- attaching tools to or detaching tools from said articulating arms.
