    摘要: A robotic instrument system and method, comprising at least two instrument drive assemblies each detachably coupled to a respective instrument assembly. Each instrument assembly comprising an elongate, flexible guide instrument configured to be inserted into a patient's body. The instrument drive assemblies comprise one or more motors configure to operate a respective instrument assembly. One or more controllers are operatively coupled to the instrument drive assemblies. The method comprises maneuvering a distal end of each of the respective guide instruments into a patient's heart by actuating the respective drive assembly performing a procedure controlled by the one or more controllers.

    摘要: An apparatus deployed through a laparoscopic incision in a body wall to apply an external lifting force over a large area of the body wall. The apparatus comprises a body wall engaging element and an elongate lifting member. The body wall engaging element is capable of passing in a packaged state through the laparoscopic incision, is inflatable to an inflated state, and includes, in the inflated state, a plane lifting surface. The elongate lifting member includes a distal portion connected to the plane lifting surface, and capable of passing through the laparoscopic incision. A proximal portion receives the external lifting force in a direction that moves the body wall engaging element into contact with the body wall. A method for lifting a body wall by applying an external lifting force to a large area of the body wall through a laparoscopic incision. The lifting device is provided that includes an body wall engaging element capable of passing through the laparoscopic incision in a packaged state. The lifting device also includes a lifting member including a distal portion to which the body wall engaging element is connected. The body wall engaging element and the distal portion of the lifting member are advanced through the laparoscopic incision. The body wall engaging element is inflated to an inflated state to provide a plane lifting surface. Finally, the external lifting force is applied to the proximal portion of the lifting member to move the lifting surface into contact with the body wall.

    摘要: An apparatus for separating a first layer of tissue, such as the peritoneum, from a second layer of tissue, such as the properitoneal fascia. The apparatus includes a main envelope that defines a main inflatable chamber. The apparatus also includes an introducing device that introduces the main envelope in a collapsed state between the first layer of tissue and the second layer of tissue. The introducing device also inflates the main envelope into an expanded state to separate the first layer of tissue from the second layer of tissue, and to create a working space between the two layers of tissue. Finally, the apparatus includes an insufflating device that introduces insufflation gas into the working space between the two layers of tissue. A method for separating a first layer of tissue from a second layer of tissue provides a main envelope and insufflation gas. The main envelope defines a main inflatable chamber. The main envelope is introduced in a collapsed state between the first layer of tissue and the second layer of tissue. The main envelope is inflated into an expanded state to separate the first layer of tissue from the second layer of tissue, and to create a working space between the two layers of tissue. Insufflation gas is then introduced into the working space between the layers of tissue.
