Abstract
A robotic surgical system includes a robotic arm, a surgical instrument, a surgical portal, and a linear slide mechanism. The linear slide mechanism is coupled to the robotic arm and is configured to movably support the surgical portal relative to the surgical instrument. The linear mechanism can support a movable carriage and a movable rail positioned to translate relative to moveable carriage to enable a surgical instrument to move relative to movable carriage.
