Embodiment Construction

[0082] Reference figure 1 The device according to the embodiment of the present invention is generally indicated by the reference numeral "2". The device includes a master device 4, and the master device 4 controls the slave device 6. In many embodiments of the present invention, the shapes of both the master device 4 and the slave device 6 enable the movement of the master device 4 to be directly mapped to the slave device 6 to form an intuitive system.

[0083] The slave device 6 may be in the form of a robotic surgical tool, and may include, for example, an ultra-high redundancy snake device.

[0084] The master device can have the same shape as the slave device and therefore can have the same number of degrees of freedom as the slave device. However, in other embodiments, the slave device 6 may have more degrees of freedom than the master device 4.

[0085] The device also includes one or more sensors 8 adapted to sense the configuration and / or orientation of the main device du...

Abstract

Apparatus for Minimal Invasive Surgery (MIS) comprising a master device, a slave device, a detector for detecting a parameter of, or associated with the slave device, and a shape locking system for locking the shape of the master device in response to a parameter detected by the detector.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device suitable for use in minimally invasive surgery (MIS), and to a user interface for such a device. Background technique [0002] Due to recent technological advances in surgery that enable early intervention, consistent surgical results, and accelerate patient recovery, MIS has become more popular in recent years. [0003] MIS can be assisted by robots to obtain higher quality, precision and consistency. [0004] In manipulator surgery, surgical skills are generally enhanced by a robotic wrist controlled by a microprocessor, which can reduce the proportion of the entire hand movement and improve the performance of fine tasks. For example, the known system consists of a surgeon's console, a patient's side cart, a high-performance 3D vision system, and a proprietary inner wrist instrument. This system allows the surgeon to perform the operation while sitting on the console to view a magnified stereo image of the operation...
