Problems solved by technology

[0005] Executing complex convergent ablation plans has proven challenging, especially with the goal of ensuring that regions ablated by different strategies are complementary and achieving electrical isolation of affected regions
Challenges exist both for manual ablation (i.e., manual catheter manipulation and manual surgical tool manipulation) and for robotic-assisted ablation

Embodiment Construction

[0058] To facilitate understanding of this disclosure, figure 1 The following description of Patient 10 teaches any anatomical structure (e.g., symbolized Basic inventive principles of image-guided autonomous robotic control of surgical procedures on anatomical structures 11 (organs or skeletal structures). From this description, one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate how to apply the inventive principles of the present disclosure to various surgical procedures involving image-guided autonomous robotic control of two (2) or more complementary surgical robots.

[0059] refer to figure 1 , the hybrid process includes: two or more surgical robots 20 (wherein surgical robots 20a and 20b are shown), a surgical robot controller 21 for each surgical robot 20 (wherein surgical robot controllers 21a and 21a are shown 21b) and a mixing process controller 22 for autonomous control of the mixing process. The hybrid procedure incorporates a single port or multiple port opening...

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...
