A method comprises obtaining an endoscopic image dataset of a patient anatomy from an endoscopic imaging system and retrieving an anatomic model dataset of the patient anatomy obtained by an anatomic imaging system. The method also comprises mapping the endoscopic image dataset to the anatomic model dataset and displaying a first vantage point image using the mapped endoscopic image dataset. The first vantage point image is presented from a first vantage point at a distal end of the endoscopic imaging system. The method also comprises displaying a second vantage point image using at least a portion of the mapped endoscopic image dataset. The second vantage point image is presented from a second vantage point, different from the first vantage point.

A wireless power transmission system for a robotic surgical system includes features for optical data transmission. A first component of the surgical system includes a control element, a power transmission element and an optical data transmission element; and a second component of the surgical system including a wireless power receiving element and an optical data receiving element, the second component is removably mountable to the first component. In some embodiments, a barrier such as a surgical drape and/or hermetic enclosure is positioned between the first and second components. In one example, of the components is a robotic manipulator arm and another is a powered instrument removably mountable to the manipulator arm.

A reversal system for an endoscope, the reversal system including: first and second outer achromats each comprising at least two lenses, wherein the first and second outer achromats have an outer diameter; first and second inner achromats arranged between the first and second outer achromats, wherein each of the first and second inner achromats comprises at least two lenses; and a holding sleeve for accommodating the at least two lenses of one or more of the first and second inner achromats, wherein the holding sleeve with the at least one of the first and second inner achromats is arranged between the first and second outer achromats.

A reversal system for an endoscope, the reversal system including: first and second outer achromats each comprising at least two lenses, wherein the first and second outer achromats have an outer diameter; first and second inner achromats arranged between the first and second outer achromats, wherein each of the first and second inner achromats comprises at least two lenses; and a holding sleeve for accommodating the at least two lenses of one or more of the first and second inner achromats, wherein the holding sleeve with the at least one of the first and second inner achromats is arranged between the first and second outer achromats.

A medical support arm includes: a support arm that supports an endoscope; an actuator that drives the support arm; a measurement unit that measures a load applied to the actuator; a generation unit that generates three-dimensional information in a body into which the endoscope is inserted; and a correction unit that corrects the three-dimensional information on a basis of the measured load.

An image processing apparatus includes a processor including hardware, the processor being configured to: determine whether or not an overlapping portion is present in imaging areas included in a plurality of images captured by a plurality of imagers, respectively, the plurality of imagers being are inserted into a subject to capture images of an observation target at different positions from each other; determine whether or not each of the plurality of imagers is inserted to a focal point position at which the observation target is in focus; and generate a composite image that is composed of the plurality of images when it is determined that each of the plurality of imagers is inserted to the focal point position and that the overlapping portion is present in the imaging areas.

A surgical controlling system, comprising: at least one surgical tool configured to be inserted into a surgical environment of a human body; at least one location estimating means configured for real-time localization of the 3D spatial position of said at least one surgical tool at any given time t; at least one movement detection means communicable with a movement's database and with said location estimating means; a controller having a processing means communicable with a controller's database; said controller's database is in communication with said movement detection means; and at least one display configured to real time provide an image of at least a portion of said surgical environment; wherein said controller is configured to direct said surgical tool to said location via said instructions provided by said controller; further wherein said location is real time updated on said display as said at least one surgical tool is moved.

A modular access medical system configured to enable a surgeon to conduct a medical procedure in fluid contained within a defined space is disclosed. As such, the system increases visibility to an operating surgeon by eliminating smoke and other vapors formed during use of a medical instrument at the surgical site. The modular access medical system may be formed from a distal end of a cannula configured to be placed into contact with tissue such that fluid can be administered within the cannula and retained therein to facilitate a surgical procedure to be conducted via one or more instruments extending through fluid contained within the cannula.

The subject matter discloses a multi-sensor endoscope having a dynamic field of view comprising an elongated shaft terminating with a tip section; a maneuvering section connected to the elongated shaft; at least two sensors, wherein at least one sensor is placed behind the tip section, on the maneuvering section; and one or more illuminators located on external surface of the shaft. In some cases, the sensors include a camera. The subject matter also discloses a multi-sensor endoscopy system comprising an endoscope comprising a handle and a controller, such that the maneuvering section is controlled by the controller.

The present invention is a Laparoscopic Eye Cleaner that can be used intra-abdominally. This laparoscopic instrument will save time and money. The instrument is a handle connected to a flat, thin stem and made of plastic or stainless steel with a soft absorbable tip. It only takes two fingers to use it. The tip that cleans the eye of the lens without the need for the laparoscope having to be removed.
