    摘要: An apparatus used to assist a surgeon in surgery is divided into two parts, proximal and distal. The apparatus has a number of rigid links which rotate about pivots to position and re-position an instrument, like a surgical instrument, at a work point proximal to a patient but remote from the apparatus. The links cooperate in a way to move the manipulator about a center-of-motion with orthogonally decoupled degrees of freedom resolved at the work point.The proximal part of the apparatus is adjustably fixed to a stationary object, like an operating table, while the distal part of the apparatus holds the instrument. Certain links which can be adjusted in length, move the distal part with respect to the proximal part of the apparatus. In this manner, the work point of the manipulator and the working radius of the apparatus are changed without moving the proximal part. Actuators, manual or remotely (computer) controlled, both rotate the links about their pivots and adjust the length of the adjustable links. All the actuators can be mounted on the proximal part of the apparatus and electrically isolated from the manipulator in order to reduce the shock hazard to the patient.

    摘要: According to some embodiments of the present invention, a system for stereo reconstruction from a monoscopic endoscope is provided. The monoscopic endoscope comprising an image pick-up element at a distal end thereof and a working channel defined by a body of the monoscopic endoscope. The working channel provides a port at the distal end of the monoscopic endoscope. The system for stereo reconstruction comprises a light patterning component configured to be disposed within the working channel of the monoscopic endoscope such that a light emitting end of the light patterning component will be fixed with a defined relative distance from the distal end of the image pick-up element. The system for stereo reconstruction also includes a data processor adapted to be in communication with the image pick-up element. The light patterning component forms a pattern of light that is projected onto a region of interest. The data processor is configured to receive an image signal of the region of interest that includes the pattern, and determine a distance from the endoscope to the region of interest based on the image signal and based on the defined relative distance between the light emitting end of the light patterning component and the distal end of the image pick-up element.

    摘要: Disclosed is a surgical needle, or active cannula, that is capable of following a complex path through cavities and tissue within a patient's anatomy. The needle has a plurality of overlapping flexible tubes, each of which has a pre-formed curvature and a pre-determined flexibility. Each of the plurality of flexible tubes is selected based on their respective pre-formed curvature and flexibility so that a given overlap configuration causes the combination of overlapping flexible tubes to form a predetermined shape that substantially matches a desired path through the anatomy. By individually controlling the translation and angular orientation of each of the flexible tubes, the surgical needle may be guided through the anatomy according to the desired path.

    摘要: A drillhole centerline determining interposer having a central cavity enables a robot to probe the interposer to learn the location and orientation of the desired drillhole. The interposer is a mushroom shaped device with a planar head and a stem dimensioned to fit snugly in the hole to be drilled. The interposer, in addition to the planar head from which the perpendicular can be calculated through multiple probes, has a central pocket concentric to the interposer stem.The method of using the drillhole centerline determining interposer is to place a number of such interposers manually in position in holes in a master part located in the work envelope of the robot. The robot operator prepositions the probe at an initial position facing the cavity of the interposer for a drillhole locating sequence for the related drillhole. In sequence, the robot moves the probe from the initial position sufficient to clear the edge of the cavity and by multiple probes determines the plane of the interposer surface platform. The robot then adjusts the yaw and pitch of the probe to orient the probe orthogonal to the platform plane (a vector parallel to the desired drillhole centerline axis). The robot, with orientation vector stored, now locates the XYZ coordinates of the drillhole by cavity probing actions determining the epicenter of the pocket.With orientation vector (pitch and yaw) known, and with coordinates (XYZ) known, the drillhole is determined.
