Abstract: A uterine manipulator includes a housing configured to be coupled to an instrument drive unit of a robotic system, a shaft extending distally from the housing, a tip hub pivotably coupled to a distal end portion of the shaft, an articulation disposed within the housing, and a handle operably coupled to either the housing or the shaft. The articulation assembly is configured to pivot the tip hub relative to the shaft and includes a drive cable operably coupled to the tip hub. The articulation assembly is actuatable manually by a user and robotically by the robotic system to pivot the tip hub relative to the shaft.

Abstract: A system for diagnosing and quantifying an organ prolapse includes a first manometry catheter configured for insertion within a first organ of the pelvic floor. The first manometry catheter includes an inflatable balloon configured to support a series of first sensors disposed along a length thereof and operably coupled to an image display for displaying a first image thereon relating to the first organ. One or more additional manometry catheters are configured for insertion within one or more respective additional organs. The additional manometry catheters include inflatable balloons configured to support corresponding additional sensors along a length thereof. The additional sensors are operably coupled to the image display for displaying one or more additional images thereon relating to the one or more additional organs. The first image and the one or more additional images being simultaneously displayed on the image display for diagnostic and quantification purposes.

Abstract: A system and method for capturing in-vivo images of an endoluminal network and generating a pathway for directing an endoluminal robot to drive a catheter to a desired location.

Abstract: An endoluminal robotic system includes at least one robotic arm that operates tools to perform suturing procedures. The tools may include at least one of a suture needle driver tool, an endoscope, and a grasping tool. Methods performed by the endoluminal robotic system include driving a suture needle through anterior and posterior sides of a defect using the suture needle driving tool, the end portion of which is rotated after passing through tissue, to form a desired suture pattern. Then, the two ends of the suture thread are pulled and tied together to form a knot. Methods performed by the endoluminal robotic system also include overlaying a suture needle path on an image captured by the endoscope and controlling the at least one robotic arm to operate the driving tool and the suture needle driver tool based on the overlaid suture needle path.

Abstract: Endoluminal robotic systems and corresponding methods include subsystems for visualization, navigation, pressure sensing, platform compatibility, and user interfaces. The user interfaces may be implemented by one or more of a console, haptics, image fusion, voice controls, remote support, and multi-system controls.

Abstract: A uterine manipulator includes an elongated shaft assembly, a colpotomy cup supported on the elongated shaft assembly, and a tip assembly. The tip assembly extends distally from the colpotomy cup and has a piercing tip configured to pierce tissue.

Abstract: A colonic prosthesis is configured for intraluminal fecal diversion at the site of an anastomosis to reduce anastomotic leaks. The colonic prosthesis includes circular waveform structures secured to each other by a graft material that is formed of impermeable material. The colonic prosthesis has a sinusoidal profile to enable transition between compressed configuration and expanded configuration to facilitate insertion into the colon.

Abstract: A robotic colpotomy system includes a robotic arm, an instrument drive unit supported on the robotic arm, and a uterine manipulator supported on the robotic arm. The uterine manipulator is coupled to the instrument drive unit and has an elongated shaft assembly that supports a colpotomy assembly on a distal end portion thereof. The colpotomy assembly includes a colpotomy cup and extends distally to a distal tip. The various components of the robotic colpotomy system are positioned or movably positioned to help effectuate a colpotomy procedure.

Abstract: 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.
