SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A SURGICAL ROBOTIC SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18679098 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A SURGICAL ROBOTIC SYSTEM
The surgical robotic system described in the patent application consists of an image capturing device, a surgical console, a multi-directional indicator, a surgical instrument, and a control tower.
- The image capturing device captures an image of the surgical site.
- The surgical console displays the image of the surgical site.
- The multi-directional indicator overlays on the image of the surgical site on the display.
- The user input device generates a user input.
- The surgical instrument is coupled to a surgical robotic arm.
- The control tower receives user input and controls the surgical robotic arm or the surgical instrument.
Potential Applications: - Minimally invasive surgeries - Precision surgical procedures - Remote surgery capabilities
Problems Solved: - Enhancing surgical precision - Improving visualization of the surgical site - Allowing for remote surgical operations
Benefits: - Increased accuracy in surgical procedures - Reduced risk of human error - Enhanced efficiency in surgical operations
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Surgical Robotic System for Enhanced Precision in Medical Procedures" This technology can be utilized in hospitals, surgical centers, and research institutions to improve surgical outcomes and patient care. It can also have applications in telemedicine and remote surgery scenarios.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the multi-directional indicator improve surgical procedures? The multi-directional indicator provides real-time guidance and feedback to the surgeon, enhancing precision and accuracy during the operation.
2. What are the advantages of using a surgical robotic system in medical procedures? Surgical robotic systems offer increased precision, improved visualization, and the ability to perform complex procedures with minimal invasiveness.
Original Abstract Submitted
A surgical robotic system includes an image capturing device, a surgical console, a multi-directional indicator, a surgical instrument, and a control tower. The image capturing device is configured to capture an image of a surgical site. The surgical console includes a display configured to display the image of the surgical site. The multi-directional indicator is overlaid over the image of the surgical site on the display. The user input device is operably coupled to the surgical console and configured to generate a user input. The surgical instrument is coupled to a surgical robotic arm. The control tower is configured to receive user input from the user input device and control at least one of the surgical robotic arm or the surgical instrument.
