Abstract
Robotic surgical systems and methods for using both laparoscopic and trans-cervical tools and imaging devices to resect fibroids or other abnormal uterine tissue.
Claims26
A medical system for use in treating a uterine disorder in a uterus, comprising:
- a first arm having a plurality of moveable arm segments adapted for trans-cervical introduction of a least one functional device into a uterine cavity;
- a second arm having a plurality of moveable arm segments adapted for laparoscopic introduction of a least one functional device for positioning at an exterior of the uterus;
- and
- a controller;
- wherein each of the first arm and the second arm are configured to send position signals to the controller such that the controller can map a position of the first arm and the second arm relative to one another.
2 more elements
A method of treating a uterine disorder in a patient, comprising:
- providing a medical system with first arm and a second arm, each having a plurality of moveable arm segments;
- positioning the first arm with a distal arm segment carrying an elongate tool introduced trans-vaginally to engage and stabilize a cervix of the patient;
- positioning the second arm to laparoscopically introduce a tool assembly into an abdominal cavity of the patient wherein the tool assembly carries an image sensor and at least one ultrasound transducer, and positioning the at least one ultrasound transducer against a wall of a uterus for providing ultrasound images thereof;
- introducing an elongate resecting device trans-cervically into a uterine cavity of the patient;
- and
- actuating the elongate resecting device to rotate and/or reciprocate a cutter carried at a distal end of the elongate resecting device to resect tissue at a targeted site contemporaneous with ultrasound imaging of the targeted site.
