AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Robotic surgical systems lack the capability to effectively interface and operate endoscopes during minimally invasive procedures.
Method used
An adapter assembly is provided that connects an endoscope to a robotic surgical system, comprising a proximal housing coupled to an instrument drive unit, a distal housing for non-rotatable receipt of the endoscope, and a drive assembly that rotates the distal housing relative to the proximal housing.
Benefits of technology
The adapter assembly enables the robotic surgical system to operate the endoscope, allowing for precise control and rotation of the endoscope within the body cavity, enhancing the capabilities of robotic surgical systems in minimally invasive procedures.
