摘要:
A multi-user medical robotic system for collaboration or training in minimally invasive surgical procedures includes first and second master input devices, a first slave robotic mechanism, and at least one processor configured to generate a first slave command for the first slave robotic mechanism by switchably using one or both of a first command indicative of manipulation of the first master input device by a first user and a second command indicative of manipulation of the second master input device by a second user. To facilitate the collaboration or training, both first and second users communicate with each other through an audio system and see the minimally invasive surgery site on first and second displays respectively viewable by the first and second users.
摘要:
A guide tube has an oblong cross-sectional shape. A first surgical instrument passes through one end of the oblong shape, and a second surgical instrument passes through the other end of the oblong shape. An imaging system is on the guide tube, in some aspects at the guide tube's distal end. In some aspects the guide tube and the instruments are telemanipulatively controlled.

Two surgical instruments are inserted through a guide tube and exit via side exit ports of the guide tube. The side exit ports are on opposite sides of the guide tube. A stereoscopic image capture component is at the distal end of the guide tube. Both the surgical instruments and the guide tube may be flexible, and in some aspects the guide tube is retroflexive. The guide tube and the instruments are telemanipulatively controlled. The guide tube has an oblong-shaped cross section, and the instruments pass through opposite ends of the oblong shape, which allows the guide tube to have a reduced cross sectional area.

The present invention provides an integrated high voltage capacitor, a method of manufacture therefore, and an integrated circuit chip including the same. The integrated high voltage capacitor, among other features, includes a first capacitor plate (120) located over or in a semiconductor substrate (105), and an insulator (130) located over the first capacitor plate (120), at least a portion of the insulator (130) comprising an interlevel dielectric layer (135, 138, 143, or 148). The integrated high voltage capacitor further includes capacitance uniformity structures (910) located at least partially within the insulator (130) and a second capacitor plate (160) located over the insulator (130).

Robotic devices, systems, and methods for use in robotic surgery and other robotic applications, and/or medical instrument devices, systems, and methods includes both a reusable processor and a limited-use robotic tool or medical treatment probe. A memory the limited-use component includes machine readable code with data and/or programming instructions to be implemented by the processor. Programming of the processor can be updated by shipping of new data once downloaded by the processor from a component, subsequent components can take advantage of the updated processor without repeated downloading.

摘要:
An interactive organ diagram facilitates that input of clinically-related data regarding the condition of a patient's organ and storage of the clinically-related data in a patient's electronic medical record. The interactive organ diagram includes a graphical depiction of an organ with data entry elements that allow for the entry of data directly within the graphical depiction of the organ. After a pathologist or other clinician enters data directly within the graphical depiction of the organ, data from the interactive organ diagram may be stored in the patient's electronic medical record.
摘要:
A surgical instrument extends through a guide tube and exits at an intermediate position of the guide tube. The instrument includes a parallel motion mechanism that changes the position of a distal end of the surgical instrument without changing the orientation of the distal end. An image capture component is at the distal end of the guide tube, and a joint allows the image capture component to move while the intermediate position remains stationary. The configuration allows a cross section of the guide tube to be oblong. In some aspects, a joint for the image capture component is placed between exit ports for surgical instruments, which allows the guide tube cross section to be further reduced.
