    摘要: A surgical suturing tracking system is disclosed. The surgical suturing tracking system is configured to detect and guide a suturing needle during a surgical suturing procedure. The surgical suturing track system comprises a control circuit configured to predict a path of a needle suturing stroke after receiving an input from a clinician, detect an embedded tissue structure, and assess proximity of the predicted path and the detected embedded tissue structure.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a tool having a wrist mechanism that provides pitch and yaw rotation in such a way that the tool has no singularity in roll, pitch, and yaw. In one embodiment, a minimally invasive surgical instrument includes an elongate shaft having a working end, a proximal end, and a shaft axis between the working end and the proximal end; and an end effector. A wrist member has a flexible tube including an axis extending through an interior surrounded by a wall. The wall of the flexible tube includes a plurality of lumens oriented generally parallel to the axis of the flexible tube. The wrist member has a proximal portion connected to the working end of the elongate shaft and a distal portion connected to the end effector. A plurality of actuation cables have distal portions connected to the end effector and extend from the distal portion through the lumens of the wall of the wrist member toward the elongate shaft to proximal portions which are actuatable to bend the wrist member in pitch rotation and yaw rotation.

    摘要: A suturing device for being inserted into and used in a body is disclosed. The suturing device includes a front arm that has string support portions supporting both ends of a surgical string, and a front guide portion attached to the string support portions and a back arm that has a needle-shaped member, a needle support portion supporting the needle-shaped member in a state of pointing to a predetermined first direction, and a back guide portion attached to the front guide portion such that the back guide portion is capable of sliding in a direction substantially parallel to the first direction, and rotating around an axis substantially parallel to the first direction. The front guide portion has a first guide groove guiding the needle-shaped member to one end of the surgical string supported by the string support portion and a second guide groove guiding the needle-shaped member.

    摘要: A surgical suture passer (10) having a hollow needle (11) with an axial lumen (12) and a handle (13) having the hollow needle (11) secured and retained at its proximal end (15). The handle (13) defines a planar recessed surface (21) and the lumen (12) of the hollow needle (11) is aligned with this planar recessed surface (21) when the needle is retained by the handle (13) whereby a suture positioned on the planar surface (21) may be advanced or retracted by direct finger engagement of the suture into and out of the hollow needle lumen (12).

    摘要: A device and method for selectively engaging or penetrating a layer of a luminal organ wall where the luminal organ wall has a plurality of layers including an outermost layer and an innermost layer adjacent to the lumen of the organ. The device and method select one of the plurality of layers of the organ wall other than the innermost layer and deploy from within the lumen of the organ a tissue device through the innermost layer to a specific depth to engage or penetrate the selected one of the plurality of layers. The device and method may be employed to create luminal pouches or restrictive outlets. In a stomach organ, the device and methods may be employed to treat obesity by forming a gastric pouch with or without a restrictive outlet.
