Abstract: An operation support device includes a manipulation input unit and an operating section to which a surgical instrument is attached and which operates the surgical instrument. The surgical instrument includes a treatment section, a flexible insertion section, and a manipulation section which is fixed to the flexible insertion section. The manipulation input unit further includes a detection body which is attached to the manipulation section, and a detecting device which detects the detection body. The detecting device calculates information which is capable of specifying a position and/or an orientation of the detection body. On the basis of the information which is calculated by the detecting device, a control device controls an operation of the surgical instrument by outputting to the operating section an order of moving the surgical instrument as a manipulation order.

Abstract: This medical manipulator includes a body section, an insertion section, a channel, a movement amount detection section configured to detect an amount of movement of a medical treatment tool inserted through a body-side channel provided in the body section, a distal-end-side contact section provided to be in contact with the medical treatment tool inserted through an insertion-side channel arranged in the insertion section and configured to rotate about its own axis to move the medical treatment tool, a first drive section configured to rotate the distal-end-side contact section. The distal-end-side contact section is rotated so as to move the medical treatment tool with respect to the insertion-side channel by an amount of movement which is the same as the amount of movement detected by the movement amount detection section.
