Abstract
The present invention relates to a surgical robot system with at least two robot arms (45, 47, 49, 51), on each of which is arranged at least one endoscope for a minimally invasive surgery, wherein the first endoscope on the first robot arm (47) comprises a main support means (4b) and which comprises at the distal end at least one lighting unit (23, 24) and two image-taking devices (20a, 21a, 22a, 20b, 21b, 22b), and a trocar (1b), and wherein the second endoscope on to the second robot arm (45) comprises a main support means (4a), a trocar (1a), and an auxiliary support means (3).
Claims7
A surgical robotic system having at least two robot arms to each of which is arranged at least one endoscope,
- wherein the first endoscope on the first robot arm comprises a main support means, which extends substantially over the entire endoscope length from outside into the interior of the body, and which comprises at the distal end at least one lighting unit and two image-taking devices, wherein the image-taking devices are each pivotally mounted to the outside essentially in the same plane of the main support means, and comprise a trocar, which accomplishes the access of the first endoscope inside the body, and
- wherein the second endoscope on the second robot arm comprises a main support means, which extends essentially over the entire length of the endoscope from the outside into the interior of the body, a trocar, which accomplishes the access of the second endoscope inside the body, and an auxiliary support means, which is provided on the trocar and/or the main support means, wherein the additional support means comprises at its distal end an auxiliary image-taking device, which is arranged pivotally from the additional support means to the outside, and wherein the additional image-taking device comprises an auxiliary lighting unit and at least one additional image sensor having a monitoring region, which includes the two monitoring areas of the image-taking means of the first endoscope,
- wherein an image processing unit, which is connected both to the two imaging devices and the additional image-taking device, and a visualization unit is provided, which displays the 2D image data, and/or the 3D image data of the image-taking means and/or the additional image-taking means.
