Robotic module for natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) |
摘要 |
A miniature in-vivo robotic module to be used for conducting dexterous manipulations on organs and other target entities in a patient's abdominal or peritoneal cavity as part of Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) is disclosed in this invention. The robotic module is a serial manipulator consisting of seven cylindrical links and six actively controllable rotational degrees of freedom, thereby enabling an end effector equipped with a laparoscopic type instrument to assume a commanded position and orientation within the robot's workspace. After overtube navigation starting from a natural orifice or preexisting wound, the module must be anchored and guided to a designated location along the inner abdominal cavity wall. This is accomplished via magnetic coupling forces between internal embedded magnets and magnets fixed to the end of a different robotic manipulator located external to the patient. |
