METHODS FOR HYBRID ROBOTIC LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY

摘要

Methods and devices are provided for performing robotic surgery. In general, a surgical system is provided including an electromechanical tool with a first mode of operation in which the electromechanical tool mimics movement of a controller, and a second mode of operation in which the tool mirrors movement of the controller. A hybrid surgical device is also provided including an adapter matable to a handle assembly such that the adapter is electronically coupled to a motor of the handle assembly and is configured to communicate with the motor. A robotic laparoscopic surgical device is also provided including a motion sensor configured to sense movement of an electromechanical tool and an electromechanical arm that assists movement of the tool. A robotic surgical device is also provided including an electromechanical driver associated with a trocar and being configured to rotate and to translate a tool disposed through a passageway.

主权项

1. A method for performing hybrid surgery, comprising:
positioning a first end effector of an electromechanical tool within a patient's body and positioning a second end effector of a manual tool within the patient's body; manipulating a controller to input a first motion to the controller, wherein an electronic control system receives a control signal from the controller and communicates the control signal to the electromechanical tool, the control signal causing the electromechanical tool to mimic the first motion input to the controller; activating a switch to cause the electromechanical tool to mirror the motion input to the controller; and manipulating the controller to input a second motion to the controller, the electronic control system receiving a control signal from the controller and sending the control signal to the electromechanical tool, the control signal causing the electromechanical tool to mirror the second motion input to the controller; and manipulating the manual tool while manipulating the controller.
