Embodiment Construction

[0052] [0051] The present invention provides multi-component systems and methods for performing robotic-assisted surgical procedures on a patient, including in particular open surgical procedures, neurosurgical procedures such as stereotactic surgery, and surgical procedures such as laparoscopic, arthroscopic, thoracoscopic and other endoscopic procedures. The systems and methods of the present invention are particularly useful as part of a telerobotic surgery system that allows a surgeon to manipulate surgical instruments via servo mechanisms from a remote location away from the patient. For this purpose, the manipulator device or slave device of the present invention is typically driven by a motion-equivalent master device to form a telepresence system with force feedback. A description of a suitable slave-master system is found in US Patent Application Serial No. 08 / 517,053, filed August 21, 1995, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Abstract

A sterile adaptor (300), a sterile drape (404) with the integrated sterile adaptor, and a telerobotic surgical system (200) including the sterile drape (256) with a drape interface are provided. The adaptor, drape, and system allow for draping portions of a telerobotic surgical system to maintain a sterile barrier between the sterile surgical field and the non-sterile robotic system while also providing an interface for transferring mechanical and electrical energy and signals between a robotic arm and a surgical instrument (250) in the sterile field.
