Embodiment Construction

[0028] Looking first at FIG. 1 , there is shown a patient 1 lying on an operating table 2 during a surgical procedure. A surgical robot 3 is provided. The surgical robot 3 stands on the floor of the operating room close to the operating table 2, and those skilled in the art can understand that the position of the surgical robot 3 is recorded according to the operating table 2 or according to a fixed reference system of another reference.

[0029] The surgical robot 3 has an arm 4 that extends towards the patient 1, and the surgical robot 3 has a holder (not shown) for supporting various surgical instruments, including a laparoscope. Although it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to the use of a laparoscope, attached to the holder is a laparoscope (not shown), which is inserted into the incision 5 in the abdomen of the patient 1 .

[0030] The surgical robot 3 is controlled via an interface 6 which may include a control panel with buttons or joysticks that t...

Abstract

There is a drive element to be driven by a motor. There is also a control element for controlling at least one motion of the medical device. A transmission arrangement transmits motion from the drive element to the control element, the transmission arrangement having first and second members which are frictionally engaged with one another so that motion may be transmitted from one to the other. There is a manual manipulation control, which may be grasped by a user to move the medical device manually while the first and second members remain in frictional engagement with one another.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an operating device for a medical device. In particular, embodiments of the present invention relate to an apparatus and method for operating an endoscope or laparoscope in a surgical procedure. Background technique [0002] There are many occasions that require observation and treatment of remote or inaccessible sites. For example, in surgery, it is sometimes necessary to operate on organs inside the human body. [0003] In the case of surgery, the surgeon wishes to perform the surgery through the smallest possible incision to minimize scarring and damage to the patient (in addition, the small incision reduces the risk of infection and the patient's recovery time after surgery). [0004] Therefore, there is a need for imaging devices or cameras that have small external dimensions and that can operate through small apertures to enable access to remote or inaccessible sites. For this purpose, endoscopes (including endoscope c...
