Publication number: 20240138934Abstract: Systems and methods for performing concomitant medical procedures are disclosed. In one aspect, the method involves controlling a first robotic arm to insert a first medical instrument through a first opening of a patient and controlling a second robotic arm to insert a second medical instrument through a second opening of the patient. The first robotic arm and the second robotic arm are part of a first platform and the first opening and the second opening are positioned at two different anatomical regions of the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Joshua F. DEFONZO, Alexander Tarek HASSAN, Frederic H. MOLL, David Stephen MINTZ, David M. SCHUMMERS, Paxton H. MAEDER-YORK, Andrew F. O'ROURKE

Publication number: 20230372056Abstract: A robotic surgical system can include one or more adjustable arm supports that support one or more robotic arms. The adjustable arm supports can be configured to attach to either a table, a column support of the table, or a base of the table to deploy the adjustable arm supports and robotic arms from a position below the table. In some examples, the adjustable arm supports include at least four degrees of freedom that allow for adjustment of the position of a bar or rail to which the robotic arms are mounted. One of the degrees of freedom can allow the adjustable arm support to be adjusted vertically relative to the table.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Nicholas J. EYRE, Colin Allen WILSON, Andrew F. O'ROURKE, Travis C. COVINGTON, Sven WEHRMANN

Publication number: 20200237458Abstract: Provided are systems and techniques for providing multiple perspectives during medical procedures. In one aspect, a method includes positioning a plurality of cannulas in a plurality of anatomical quadrants of a patient, inserting first and second surgical tools coupled to corresponding robotic arms into the respective cannulas. The method may include inserting an articulatable camera coupled to another robotic arm into another of the cannulas, where the articulatable camera is capable of showing a first view including the first surgical tool in a first anatomical quadrant and articulating to show a second view including the second surgical tool in a second anatomical quadrant. The method may further involve performing a surgical procedure in at least one of the first anatomical quadrant or the second anatomical quadrant.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2020Publication date: July 30, 2020Inventors: Joshua F. DeFonzo, Andrew F. O'Rourke, Travis Michael Schuh, Yanan Huang, Jason Tomas Wilson
