A medical system includes: an endoscope and at least one treatment tool; a treatment-tool coordinate calculating unit that extracts the treatment tool by processing two or more images acquired at different times by the endoscope, that determines directions of longitudinal axes of the extracted treatment tool, and that calculates a coordinate of an intersection of the determined two or more longitudinal axes; and a judgment unit that judges whether the treatment tool serves as a follow target, on the basis of the coordinate of the intersection calculated by the treatment-tool coordinate calculating unit.

A scope system is provided including an elongate tube with a distal portion and a lumen extending therethrough. The scope system also includes at least one accessory channel extending from a proximal end to a distal end and having with an accessory lumen extending therethrough, the at least one accessory channel movably disposed at least partially within the lumen of the elongate tube. The at least one accessory channel includes a distal section and a forward-viewing configuration and a side-viewing configuration. In the forward-viewing configuration, the distal section of the at least one accessory channel is substantially parallel to the distal portion of the elongate tube and in the side-viewing configuration, the distal section of the at least one accessory channel is arced at a radius greater than a radius of the distal portion of the elongate tube.

An instrument drive system configured to attach to an instrument channel of an endoscope assembly and manage a relative feed position of an instrument using two drive wheels and a device application in a controller. The instrument drive system is attached directly to the instrument channel of the endoscope assembly. operation of the instrument drive system is proximate to the endoscope assembly and an inputs-controls and a deflection control thereof.

A system for treating tissue includes a cap mounted over a distal end of an endoscope, a clip mountable over the cap and including first and second jaws movably connected to one another between an insertion configuration, in which the first and second jaws extend over the cap to receive a target tissue therebetween, a review configuration, in which at least a portion of the clip extends into a field of view of the optical system of an endoscope, and a deployed configuration in which the clip is moved distally off of the cap so that the first and second jaws are drawn toward one another. A control element is configured so that movement proximally through the cap via a first distance moves the clip from the insertion configuration to the review configuration and a second distance moves the clip from the review configuration to the deployed configuration.

An endoscope adaptor to be connected to a robot arm of a robotic surgical system through a drape adaptor according to an embodiment may include a base section, a holding section, a driven member, and a transmission mechanism. The base is to be detachably connected to the drape adaptor. The driven member is rotatably provided on the base section and configured to be rotated by a rotation drive section of the robot arm through the drape adaptor. The holding section holds an endoscope rotatably about a rotation axis, the endoscope including an insertion section including an image capturing section provided at a distal end of the insertion section and a body section connected to the insertion section, wherein the rotation axis extends in a direction in which the insertion section extends. The transmission mechanism is configured to transmit rotation of the driven member to the holding section holding the endoscope.

The invention relates to a control element for an endoscopic device (A) with a retainer; at least one control wire, which can be moved back and forth in the longitudinal direction of the wire, for control purposes on the endoscopic device (A); a control wire tensioning element guided in the retainer, wherein the control wire is mounted in the control wire tensioning element; and a displacement force application device supported on the retainer, by means of the displacement force application device the control wire tensioning element can be moved relative to the retainer, in order to effect fine adjustment of the control wire. The invention further relates to a control element for an endoscopic device (A), having a housing element with a guide; at least one control wire for control purposes with the endoscopic device (A); a lever element, which can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the housing element on the guide of the housing element, with the at least one control wire being anchored on the lever element. The anchoring location of the control wire in the lever element is eccentric to the displacement path of the lever element on the guide of the housing element.

An auxiliary operation structure (1) for an endoscope, comprising: a control module (10), a human-machine interface module (30) and a clamping module (12). A plurality of pressing units (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6), a plurality of dial driving units (D1, D2) and a plurality of knob driving units (S1, S2) of the control module (10) are connected to a plurality of control units on an operation module (21) of an endoscope (2) of the control module (10). With the auxiliary operation structure (1) for the endoscope (2), a physician can control a joystick (15) via the hands to perform manipulation, such that the operation module (21) of the endoscope (2) can be controlled and operated easily to perform an invasive examination or a minimally invasive operation by means of the endoscope (2). In an invasive examination or a minimally invasive operation, a physician is not required to hold the operation module (21) of the endoscope (2) with the hands, avoiding excessive load on the wrists or arms of the physician and occupational injury thereto.

An endoscope treatment tool that is insertable into a channel of an endoscope includes: an insertion unit having flexibility; and a treatment unit disposed on a distal end of the insertion unit and supported so as to be rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the insertion unit. The insertion unit includes a tubular exterior member configured to come into contact with the treatment unit on a distal end side of the insertion unit, the tubular exterior member configured to be moved in a direction of the longitudinal axis of the insertion unit, an operation member penetrating through an interior of the exterior member, the operation member configured to transmit rotation about the longitudinal axis to the treatment unit, and a wire penetrating through an interior of the insertion uni, the wire having a distal end fixed to the exterior member.
