Abstract

Various exemplary surgical tool and robotic surgical system interfaces are provided. In general, a sterile barrier can be positioned between a robotic surgical system and a surgical tool releasably coupled to the robotic surgical system. The surgical tool can be in a sterile environment on one side of the sterile barrier, and the robotic surgical system can be in a non-sterile environment on the other, opposite side of the sterile barrier. The robotic surgical system can be configured to control movement of the surgical tool releasably coupled thereto using a magnetic field that extends acrossthe sterile barrier between the surgical tool and the robotic surgical system.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention provides methods, systems and devices for robotic surgery, and in particular provides surgical tools and a robotic surgical system interface. Background technique [0002] Minimally invasive surgical (MIS) instruments are often preferred over traditional open surgical devices due to reduced postoperative recovery time and minimized scarring. Laparoscopic surgery is a type of MIS procedure in which one or more small incisions are made in the abdomen and a trocar is inserted through the incisions to create access to the abdominal cavity. A trocar is used to introduce various instruments and tools into the abdominal cavity and to provide insufflation of air to elevate the abdominal wall above the organs. Instruments and tools can be used to engage and / or manipulate tissue in a variety of ways for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Endoscopic surgery is another type of MIS procedure in which a long, thin, flexible shaft is introduc...
