    摘要: An instrument driver operable to control catheter instruments. First and second carriages are movably coupled to a frame of an instrument driver. Each carriage is configured to support a catheter instrument. The first and second carriages are independently rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the respective first and second catheter instruments and rotatable independently of an instrument driver frame. Independent carriage control provides for the carriages being independently movable in at least three different directions with at least two different types of motion.

    摘要: A tool guide for guiding an end effector of a robotically controlled surgical instrument from a position outside a patient body to a position in close proximity to an internal surgical site within the patient body is provided. The tool guide typically comprises a body, a seat formation on the body, the seat formation being arranged to seat in an aperture leading into the patient body so as to mount the tool guide on the patient body, and a sheath formation on the body. The sheath formation typically defines a longitudinally extending internal passage, an inlet leading into the passage and an outlet leading from the passage. The sheath formation is arranged to cooperate with the seat formation such that when the seat formation is seated in the aperture, the outlet of the sheath formation can be positioned in close proximity to the internal surgical site thereby to enable the end effector to be guided to a position in close proximity to the surgical site by passing it through the inlet, along the passage and out from the outlet, so as to emerge from the outlet at the position in close proximity to the internal surgical site.

    摘要: A method of performing minimally invasive endoscopic surgery in a body cavity of a patient includes introducing an elongate shaft having a working end into the cavity. The elongate shaft has a proximal end and a shaft axis between the working end and the proximal end. A wrist member pivotally coupled with the working end is rotated relative to the working end. The wrist member has a wrist axis. The method further includes rotating at least one of the elongate shaft around the shaft axis and an end effector pivotally mounted on the wrist member around the wrist axis to position the end effector at a desired location inside the cavity.

    摘要: A bipolar surgical instrument that includes opposing grips that can engage the tissue. A current is delivered from an electrosurgical power source to electrodes disposed on the grips to cauterize the tissue. The electrode configurations provide efficient cauterization of the tissue. In some embodiments, the positive and negative electrodes will be offset from each other to prevent shorting and to provide a thin line of coagulation heating to the gripped tissue. In some embodiments the electrodes are removably coupled to the grips through nonconductive sleeves. In some embodiments, the first electrode is disposed in a groove and the second electrode is disposed on a boss.

    摘要: A robotic surgical tool includes an elongate shaft having a working end and a shaft axis. A wrist member has a proximal portion pivotally connected to the working end to rotate relative to the working end around a pitch axis which is nonparallel to the shaft axis. An end effector is pivotally mounted on a distal portion of the wrist member to rotate around a wrist roll axis of the wrist member. The wrist roll axis extends between the proximal portion and the distal portion of the wrist member. The end effector is pivotally mounted to rotate relative to the wrist member around a yaw axis which is nonparallel to the wrist roll axis. A torsion tube is coupled with the end effector base and is rotatable to turn the end effector base around the wrist roll axis of the wrist member. The torsion tube extends through an interior of the elongate shaft to a proximal end opposite from the working end of the elongate shaft. The torsion tube is bendable around the pitch axis with rotation of the wrist member around the pitch axis relative to the working end.

    摘要: An apparatus for tissue dissection and instrument anchoring, including a dissection balloon having a viewing window (preferably a rigid, transparent window) at its distal end, or including an anchoring or dissection balloon having nonuniform elasticity selected to achieve desired inflated shape and pressure characteristics, and methods for using such apparatus. The window, which can be a lens (such as a wide angle lens), is transparent and either rigid or non-rigid but sufficiently strong to retain a desired optical shape while (and after) being pushed against tissue layers by a rigid instrument deployed within the balloon. In preferred embodiments, the balloon is a long-necked dissection balloon deployed through a cannula. In other embodiments, the invention is a dissection balloon having a viewing window at its distal end, or an anchoring or dissection balloon having nonuniform elasticity selected to achieve desired inflated shape and pressure characteristics, for use in an apparatus for tissue dissection, tissue retraction, and instrument anchoring. In other embodiments, the invention is a dissection balloon assembly including a long-necked dissection balloon having a viewing window at its distal end, and a housing to which the dissection balloon's mouth is attached.
