Robotic Devices and Systems for Performing Single Incision Procedures and Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgical Procedures, and Methods of Configuring Robotic Devices and Systems

摘要

Example embodiments relate to surgical devices, systems, and methods. The system may include a port assembly and instrument arm assembly. The port assembly may have first and second end sections. The first end section may include a first end channel and first gate assembly. The second end section may include a second end channel, second gate assembly, and anchor port. The first and second gate assemblies may be configurable to transition between an open position to allow access through the first and second end channels, respectively, and a closed position to prevent access to same. The instrument arm assembly may include a shoulder section securable to the anchor port, first arm section secured to the shoulder section, elbow section secured to the first arm section, second arm section secured to the elbow section, wrist section secured to the second arm section, and end effector section secured to the wrist section.

1. A surgical system comprising:
a port assembly, the port assembly being an elongated structure and having:
a first end section, the first end section having a first end channel and a first gate assembly, the first gate assembly configurable to transition between an open position to allow access through the first end channel and a closed position to prevent access through the first end channel; anda second end section, the second end section having:
a second end channel, the second end channel being substantially aligned with the first end channel;a second gate assembly, the second gate assembly configurable to transition between an open position to allow access through the second end channel and a closed position to prevent access through the second end channel; andan anchor port; and an instrument arm assembly, the instrument arm assembly having:
a shoulder section securable to the anchor port of the second end section;a first arm section secured to the shoulder section;an elbow section secured to the first arm section;a second arm section secured to the elbow section;a wrist section secured to the second arm section; andan end effector section secured to the wrist section, the end effector section having an end effector.
