    摘要: In a system and method for assessing tissue excision comprise, first 3-dimensional data is acquired for a surgical region of interest from which tissue is to be excised, the first data defining initial geometry of tissue in the region of interest. A desired excision parameter, such as depth or shape, is determined and tissue is excised from the region of interest. Second 3-dimensional data for the region of interest is then acquired, the second scan data defining post-excision geometry of the tissue in the region of interest. The first and second data is compared to determine whether the desired excision parameter has been reached. The 3-dimensional data may be scan data acquired using a 3D or 2D endoscope, and/or it may be derived from kinematic data generated as a result of moving an instrument tip over the region of interest.

    摘要: In a surgical method using a robotic system, a distal end of a robotically controlled surgical instrument is positioned in a patient body cavity. Operation of the instrument is controlled in response to input provided by a surgeon at an input device. An image of the interior of the body cavity is captured for display on a display. A boundary in the body cavity is identified using the image processing software by distinguishing between different colors on the image. In response to identification of the boundary, at least one of the following modes of operation is performed: providing a haptic contract at the surgeon console constraining movement of the surgical instrument to maintain the instrument along the boundary; preventing activation of an electrosurgical function of the instrument except with the instrument is within a defined distance from the boundary; allowing activation of an electrosurgical function of the instrument only when the instrument is positioned along the boundary

    摘要: A surgical system includes a robotic manipulator, a first surgical instrument removably mountable to the robotic manipulator and maneuverable within a body cavity by the robotic manipulator. The instrument has end effector and a working channel proportioned to receive an implement therethrough. Robotic control of the first surgical and, optionally, the implement, is managed using input from a user interface.
