Abstract

A robotic system employing a plurality of surgical robots (20) and a surgical procedure controller (22) for executing a surgical procedure on an anatomical structure (e.g., a heart) within an anatomical region (e.g., a thoracic region). In operation, the controller (22) autonomously controls a navigation of each surgical robot (20) within the anatomical region relative to the anatomical structureby directing a navigation of each surgical robot (20) within the anatomical region relative to the anatomical structure based on a surgical plan for executing the surgical procedure on the anatomicalstructure (e.g., a convergent ablation plan consisting of an epicardial ablation plan for abating an exterior of a heart and an endocardial ablation plan for ablating an interior of the heart) and further by revising the surgical plan responsive to a partial or complete inability of one or more of the surgical robots (20) to be navigated within the anatomical region relative to the anatomical structure based on the surgical plan.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to hybrid procedures for performing endo-surgical procedures on the inside of an anatomy and epi-surgical procedures on the outside of the anatomy, and in particular to performing combined cardiac procedures. Convergent ablation for endocardial ablation and epicardial ablation for any type of arrhythmia (eg, atrial fibrillation). The present disclosure specifically relates to robotic control of image-guided performance of hybrid procedures based on endo-procedure and exo-procedure plans. Background technique

[0002] Intracardiac catheter ablation in patients with long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a limited level of success, especially in the presence of structural heart disease. This is due to the complexity of isolating all necessary electrical pathways using an ablation catheter inside the heart.

[0003] Epicardial surgical approaches (eg, the Cox Maze procedure) have bee...
