Decoupled multi-camera system for minimally invasive surgery

Abstract

The present invention relates to a surgical robot system with at least two robot arms (45, 47, 49, 51), on each of which is arranged at least one endoscope for a minimally invasive surgery, wherein the first endoscope on the first robot arm (47) comprises a main support means (4b) and which comprises at the distal end at least one lighting unit (23, 24) and two image-taking devices (20a, 21a, 22a, 20b, 21b, 22b), and a trocar (1b), and wherein the second endoscope on to the second robot arm (45) comprises a main support means (4a), a trocar (1a), and an auxiliary support means (3).

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a multi-camera system comprising at least one endoscopic camera and at least one cannula camera for use in minimally invasive surgery and in a corresponding surgical robot, in particular for use in minimally invasive surgery , such as in laparoscopy. Background technique

[0002] Minimally invasive surgical procedures, such as laparoscopic procedures, are performed through the use of surgical instruments, such as clamps, knives, and suturing tools, which are introduced into the patient's body through one or more cannulae. Typically, two to four, in most cases three surgical instruments are used. What is required in addition to the surgical instrument is the presence of a display unit which enables the surgeon to view the operating field. Such a display unit is usually a camera or an endoscope, which is likewise introduced into the patient's body via a cannula. Usually, the visualization takes place via an endoscope, which sh...
