    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for controlling a surgical visualization system using a hands-free (e.g., mouth, nose. and breath actuated) controller. An example system includes a microscope camera associated with the surgical system; a controller of the microscope camera; a processor; and a memory storing instructions for the processor. The controller may be separate from the microscope camera, and may comprise one or more joysticks. In some aspects, the controller may further include a pressure detector configured to detect pressure within a tube of a joystick. Also or alternatively, the controller may include a keyed proximity sensor to activate the controller when a surgeon is present. The processor may be configured to: receive a movement input based on a movement of the joystick along a Cartesian direction; and cause a corresponding movement of the microscope camera along the Cartesian direction.

    摘要: Particular embodiments disclosed herein provide operating equipment including a base for resting on a floor. A boom extends upwardly from a central base and extends outwardly from the central base in a forward direction. A gantry is suspended from the boom and has three or more degrees of freedom. A surgical instrument, such as a surgical microscope, is mounted to the gantry. One or more electrical components are mounted in the central base and are configured to support performing ophthalmic surgery, such as a computing device and vacuum pump. A surgical chair mounts to an arcuate track in a base and is slidable along the track. The surgical chair has adjustable arms secured thereto for holding surgical equipment. A patient bed incorporates a storage device and a coupler that engages a corresponding coupler coupled to a computing device in the base for downloading patient data from the storage device.

    摘要: A surgical electronic microscope device (10) includes a microscope unit (110) and a support unit (120) that supports the microscope unit (110). The microscope unit (110) images an operative site of a patient (330) on an operating table (340), and outputs an image signal. The support unit (120) includes a prop unit (290c). The prop unit (290c) supports a second arm (290b) rotatably around an axis (05). The second arm (290b) supports a first arm (290a) rotatably around an axis (04). The first arm (290a) supports the microscope unit (110). Pivoting the second arm (290b) on the axis (05) while keeping the first arm (290a) substantially level makes it possible to change a height of the microscope unit (110). A length (V) of the second arm (290b) is greater than a length (H) of the first arm (290a). Accordingly, a movable range of the microscope unit (110) in a vertical direction is wide. Both an operation performed by a surgeon at a standing position and an operation performed by a surgeon at a seated position can be therefore covered.

    摘要: A medical observation apparatus including: an arm including a plurality of links connected to each other via a joint, the arm having at least three or more degrees of freedom implemented by a rotation operation about a rotation axis; an imaging device supported by the arm; and an arm controller that controls an operation of the arm. When a posture of the arm is in a predetermined state, and when a predetermined input for moving the arm about a rotation axis orthogonal to a second axis that is a second rotation axis from a side of the arm on which the imaging device is supported and a third axis that is a third rotation axis from the side of the arm on which the imaging device is supported is detected, the arm controller makes one of the links corresponding to the third axis rotate about the third axis.
