Abstract: A teleoperational system comprises a teleoperational control system and a teleoperational manipulator configured for operating an instrument in an environment. The teleoperational system also comprises an operator controller in communication with the teleoperational control system. The teleoperational control system includes a processing unit including one or more processors. The processing unit is configured to determine whether an operator of the operator controller has a head portion directed toward a display region of a display device and based on a determination that the operator's head portion is directed toward the display region, initiate an operator following mode in which movement of the operator controller provides a corresponding movement to the teleoperational manipulator. The teleoperational system may be a teleoperational medical system.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a staple cartridge for a surgical instrument, such as a tissue sealing instrument. The staple cartridge includes a housing and one or more staple assemblies within the housing. The staple assemblies each include one or more staple pushers and associated staples. The staple pushers and housing include coupling elements configured to cooperate with each other to retain the staple assemblies to the housing prior to use in surgery. The coupling elements, along with other components of the cartridge and instrument, result in a smaller staple cartridge relative to conventional devices, allowing for a more compact and maneuverable surgical instrument.

Abstract: Techniques for controlling an end effector include a first engagement member coupled to a first actuator, a second engagement member coupled to a second actuator; and a control unit. The control unit is configured to engage the first engagement member with a third engagement member of an instrument, where movement of the third engagement member causes a movement of a degree of freedom (DOF) of an end effector in a first direction; engage the second engagement member with a fourth engagement member of the instrument, where movement of the fourth engagement member causes a movement of the DOF in a second direction opposite the first direction; actuate the DOF in the first direction to a first detectable position; actuate the DOF in the second direction to a second detectable position; and actuate the DOF to a third position between the first and second detectable positions.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a surgical instrument, such as a tissue sealing instrument, with an elongate shaft and first and second jaws movably coupled to the shaft. The second jaw comprises a cavity for receiving a staple cartridge and a substantially longitudinal reinforcing wall extending through the cavity. The instrument further includes a drive member configured to translate through the end effector to close the jaws and to engage a plurality of staples within the staple cartridge to drive the staples into tissue. The reinforcing wall provides additional support for the staple cartridge to inhibit deformation of the staple cartridge during actuation, thereby improving the staple formation in the tissue. This improves the tissue seal provided by the staples without increasing the overall size of the end effector.

Abstract: Capstan slip-stop shoulders limit relative rotation of capstans: a drive is shaft rotatably inserted within first and second axially aligned annular capstans, the first capstan including a first tooth extending parallel to the drive shaft in a first direction, the second capstan including a second tooth extending parallel to the drive shaft in a second direction opposite the first direction, the first tooth including first and second circumferentially spaced first tooth slip-stop shoulders, the second tooth including first and second circumferentially spaced second tooth slip-stop shoulders, the first and second capstans arranged such that abutting contact between the first and second slip-stop shoulders can halt capstan rotation about the drive shaft in one direction, and abutting contact between the second first and second slip-stop shoulders can halt capstan rotation about the drive shaft in an opposite direction. Halting capstan rotation prevents a cable wrapped around a capstan from paying out and causing misalignment with an end effector controlled by the cable.

Abstract: A medical imaging system comprises a teleoperated assembly including a medical instrument. The medical imaging system also comprises a first imaging instrument for generating a first image of a field of view of the first imaging instrument and a second imaging instrument for generating a second image. A tracking fixture is engagable along at least a portion of the second imaging instrument. The medical instrument is attachable to the tracking fixture within the field of view of the first imaging instrument.
