  • Publication number: 20110276058
    Abstract: A master interface for a surgical robot, mounted on a master robot for controlling a slave robot, may include two or more robot arms each having a mounted surgical instrument. The master interface may include: a screen display unit configured to display an on-screen image corresponding to a picture signal inputted from a surgical endoscope; two or more arm manipulation units equipped for controlling the two or more robot arms, respectively; and a control unit configured to provide control such that the on-screen image is rotated or mirrored in a pre-designated direction according to a user manipulation, and configured to provide control such that control conditions for the robot arm are renewed to match the rotated or mirrored on-screen image. Thus, the display screen on a surgical monitor can be suitably controlled according to the intent of the surgeon, to remove the non-intuitiveness of a surgical procedure.

  • Publication number: 20110022229
    Abstract: A master interface and a driving method for a surgical robot are disclosed. The master interface is mounted on a master robot, to manipulate a slave robot connected with the master robot, and includes: a main handle coupled to the master robot; a sub-handle coupled to the main handle; a first processor configured to generate a first signal in correspondence with user manipulation on the main handle; and a second processor configured to generate a second signal in correspondence with user manipulation on the sub-handle, where the first signal and the second signal are transmitted to the slave robot independently. As the interface for the surgical master robot includes not only the handle (main handle) for manipulating the robot arm, but also an additional controller (sub-handle) for a laparoscope, etc., the operator is able to simultaneously manipulate the laparoscope, etc., while manipulating the handle, without having to stop manipulating the handle or perform an additional action separately.

  • Publication number: 20100249694
    Abstract: Provided is a trocar for a single port surgery installed on a skin puncture site of a patient to provide a pathway for insertion of a plurality of surgical instruments. The trocar includes an upper part; a plurality of inserting holes configured to be positioned on the upper part, the plurality of the surgical instruments being inserted thereto; and a lower part configured to be formed in a tubular shape to connect to the upper part, the lower part being formed in an elastic material so that the lower part is bent when being inserted into the skin puncture site and is straightened after being introduced into the skin puncture site, wherein the trocar provides an open interior space in which the inserting holes are connected with one another so that changing locations of the plurality of the surgical instruments is possible after the surgical instruments are inserted into the plurality of the inserting holes.
