COMPUTER CONTROLLED SURGICAL ROTARY TOOL
A rotary tool includes a tool body and a powered rotary cutting tooltip that is oriented and positioned relative to the tool body by a plurality of processor-controlled actuators that provide degrees of freedom. The processor uses a surgical tracking system to identify the pose of the tool body and the tooltip relative to a patient's anatomy and controls the actuators to maintain the tooltip within a predetermined cutting plan to compensate for deviation of a surgeon's hand or a robotic arm controlling the tool body during a cutting operation.
Registration of surgical tool with reference array tracked by cameras of an extended reality headset for assisted navigation during surgery
A camera tracking system is disclosed for computer assisted navigation during surgery. The camera tracking system is configured to identify a reference array tracked by a set of tracking cameras attached to an extended reality (XR) headset, and determine whether the reference array is registered as being paired with characteristics of one of a plurality of surgical tools defined in a surgical tool database. The camera tracking system is further configured to, based on the reference array being determined to not be registered and receiving user input, register the reference array to be paired with characteristics of one of the plurality of surgical tools selected based on the user input. The camera tracking system is further configured to provide a representation of the characteristics to a display device of the XR headset for display to the user.
SURGICAL STAPLER RELOAD SIMULATION
A device for simulating a surgical activity may present a first graphical representation of a portion of anatomy. The device may simulate a path for the surgical activity. The device may determine surgical tool selection points associated with selecting surgical tools on the path for the surgical activity. The device may present a surgical range to select from at surgical tool selection points. In response to receiving an indication of the selected surgical range, the device may simulate a surgical outcome associated with selecting a surgical tool at the surgical tool selection point. In response to receiving an indication of the selected surgical tool, the device may generate the selected surgical tool at the surgical tool selection point.
Consolidated Healthcare and Resource Management System
A technical procedure and information enhancement system comprising a multi-function colored display; a computing device having memory and processors; a touch-free gesture-responsive computer input device; computer-readable media containing computer instructions for displaying a plurality of electronic pages selected from the group consisting of a pre-procedural page, a procedure preparation page, an intra-procedural page and a post-procedural page; connection to the internet; a backup memory; a microphone; one or more video cameras situated to record the medical procedure, speakers, and an electronic signature pad.
ROTARY MOTION PASSIVE END EFFECTOR FOR SURGICAL ROBOTS IN ORTHOPEDIC SURGERIES
A passive end effector of a surgical system includes a base connected to a rotational disk, and a saw attachment connected to the rotational disk. The base is attached to an end effector coupler of a robot arm positioned by a surgical robot, and includes a base arm extending away from the end effector coupler. The rotational disk is rotatably connected to the base arm and rotates about a first location on the rotational disk relative to the base arm. The saw attachment is rotatably connected to the rotational disk and rotates about a second location on the rotational disk. The first location on the rotational disk is spaced apart from the second location on the rotational disk. The saw attachment is configured to connect to a surgical saw including a saw blade configured to oscillate for cutting. The saw attachment rotates about the rotational disk and the rotational disk rotates about the base arm to constrain cutting of the saw blade to a range of movement along arcuate paths within a cutting plane.
DEVICE FOR PROVIDING JOINT REPLACEMENT ROBOTIC SURGERY INFORMATION AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING SAME
A device for providing joint replacement robotic surgery information comprises: a memory unit configured to store surgery plan information set before surgery including a cutting path of a surgical target bone; a target acquisition unit configured to acquire positions of a plurality of cutting target points forming the cutting path based on the surgery plan information; a robot position calculation unit configured to calculate a current cutting position of the surgical robot among the cutting target points based on surgery progress of the surgical robot; a graphic user interface (GUI) providing unit configured to generate graphics that represent surgery progress information including a current cutting position of the surgical robot and positions of the cutting target points on a virtual bone model corresponding to the surgical target bone; and a display unit configured to display the virtual bone model and the surgery progress information.
Unmatching/matching UID to robot grasper for engaging teleoperation
A surgical robotic system has a robotic grasper, a user interface device (UID), and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the UID and the robotic grasper. The system detects a directive to engage or re-engage a teleoperation mode, determines that the system is in a non-teleoperation mode, receives a sequence of user actions through the UID, determines the UID matches a jaw angle or a grip force of the robotic grasper, and transitions into teleoperation mode. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
PATIENT 3-D SCANNING AND METHODS FOR OPTIMIZING PORT PLACEMENT
Robotic medical systems can generate recommended port locations for a patient and communicate the recommended port locations to users of the robotic medical systems. A robotic medical system can include a robotic arm and one or more processors in communication with a 3-D scanner. The robotic medical system can be configured to obtain, via the 3-D scanner, data including a view of a patient of the robotic medical system, determine a recommended port location for the patient in accordance with the obtained data, and provide information indicating the recommended port location for the patient.
System and method for implanting smart implants using robotic telesurgery
A system for using robotic telesurgery to implant a smart implant is disclosed. The system comprises a remote doctor module communicatively coupled with an operating room module over a cloud network. The operating room module comprises a robotic arm, a processor, and communication interface which communicates with the smart implant during the surgical procedure. The Operating Room Module testing the smart implant prior to implantation surgery; correlating data collected during the implantation surgery against past data from previous surgeries; determining whether the plurality of sensors is working properly; and transferring communication with the smart implant to a user device receive and monitor data from the plurality of sensors integrated into the smart implant to determine the smart implant is operating according as expected and to monitor the patient's condition.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING TISSUE WITH RADIOFREQUENCY ENERGY
A system for controlling operation of a radiofrequency treatment device to apply radiofrequency energy to tissue to heat tissue to create lesions without ablating the tissue. The system includes a first treatment device having at least one electrode for applying radiofrequency energy to tissue, a controller including a connector to which a first treatment device is coupled for use, and a generator for applying radiofrequency energy to the electrodes. The controller controls application of energy so that the tissue is thermally treated to create lesions but preventing thermal treatment beyond a threshold which would ablate the tissue.
