The present disclosure relates to a surgical system, a surgical device, and a surgical method with which startup time can be shortened. Upon receipt of an instruction from a startup execution process, a high-speed startup driver creates a high-speed startup image and writes it to an SSD. The startup execution process is a process that is executed first after an OS is started up, and has the function of executing, in cooperation with the high-speed startup driver, startup of various processes in an endoscope program, creation of a high-speed startup image, and return from the high-speed startup image. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a surgical system provided with an imaging device including an endoscope or a microscope.

An imaging system for a patient is provided. The system includes an imaging probe having an elongate shaft with a proximal end, a distal portion, and a lumen extending between the proximal end and the distal portion. A rotatable optical core is positioned within the lumen of the elongate shaft. An optical assembly is positioned proximate the distal end of the rotatable optical core and is configured to direct light to tissue and collect reflected light from the tissue. An imaging assembly is constructed and arranged to optically couple to the imaging probe and the imaging assembly is configured to emit light into the imaging probe and receive the reflected light collected by the optical assembly.

A medical system including: a trocar configured to provide an artificial access to a body cavity of a patient; a medical instrument configured to be inserted through the trocar and into the body cavity of the patient for performing a medical function in the body cavity of the patient; and a controller configured to: determine whether the medical instrument is inserted into the trocar; and enable the performing of the medical function by the medical instrument only if the medical instrument is determined to be inserted into the trocar.

An endoscope has an insertion portion with a simple configuration. The endoscope is an endoscope having an insertion portion and an operation unit connected to one end of the insertion portion. The insertion portion includes a tube provided with a plurality of channels penetrating in a longitudinal direction, an operation unit connected to one end of the tube, and a distal tip that covers another end of the tube and smoothly communicates with a part of the plurality of channels.

An endoscope apparatus includes an endoscope having a lens, an actuator, and an endoscope memory, and a processor having a driving circuit and a processor memory and connected to the endoscope. The processor judges whether there is abnormality or not in at least one of the actuator or the driving circuit by using information on a signal transmitted from the driving circuit to the actuator, first judgement information read from the endoscope memory, and second judgement information read from the processor memory.

A power supply apparatus for an endoscope includes a plurality of power supply circuits, a plurality of power changeover switches, and a power control circuit. The power control circuit performs an operation to determine, when one power changeover switch provided on one power supply line connecting one power supply circuit of the plurality of power supply circuits and one electronic part of the plurality of electronic parts in each order of the power-on sequence is set to off, whether an output voltage of the one power supply circuit is normal or not and an operation to start a supply of one drive voltage required to drive the one electronic part according to a judgement result that the output voltage of the one power supply circuit is normal.

A medical system includes an insertion device including a handle, an insertion portion with at least one lumen, a port fluidly coupled to the lumen, and a connection portion. The medical system also includes a medical device including a handle, an insertion portion, and a connection portion configured to be coupled to the connection portion of the insertion device. The connection portion of the medical device is configured to be coupled to the connection portion of the insertion device to form an electronic and physical connection between the insertion device and the medical device.

An endoscope device includes: an endoscope configured to retrieve a subject image in a subject from a tip end, and output the subject image from an eyepiece unit; and a camera head including a mounting unit detachably connected to the eyepiece unit, and configured to pick up the subject image. The eyepiece unit and the mounting unit are connected with each other so as to be able to relatively rotate the endoscope and the camera head around an insertion axis. The eyepiece unit includes an endoscope side terminal. The mounting unit includes a head side terminal that feeds power to the endoscope from the camera head. One of the endoscope side terminal and the head side terminal includes at least three terminals disposed on a virtual circle around the insertion axis, and the other includes at least two terminals disposed on the virtual circle.

A medical apparatus includes a control device, a motion sensor, via which a motion value is determinable, a position sensor, via which an angular position in space is detectable, and a time measuring device, via which a time interval is determinable. The control device is embodied in such a way that a switch-off signal is producible if, during the entire time interval, the motion value remains below a threshold and, at the same time, the position sensor detects an inclination angle relative to a repository plane that lies in a defined repository angle range.

An endoscope provides a connector substrate of an endoscope connector to be connected to a processor with a temperature sensor for directly measuring a temperature of the connector substrate, performs control to restrict a power supply (in other words, limit and stop a power supply) from an endoscope power supply circuit according to the measured temperature of the connector substrate (in other words, the endoscope connector), and thereby appropriately manages the temperature of the endoscope connector in the endoscope.
