  • Publication number: 20240108428
    Abstract: Provided are systems and techniques for a medical procedure. For example, the system may include one or more robotic arms, an imaging device, a master controller, a viewer configured to render one or more digital images based on image data from the imaging device, at least one computer-readable memory having stored thereon executable instructions, and one or more processors. The one or more processors may be configured to execute the instructions to cause the system to: in a first mode of operation, cause movement of at least one of the robotic arms; and in a second mode of operation, cause the viewer to display an interactive menu and a graphical overlay on the one or more digital images.

  • Patent number: 11864849
    Abstract: Provided is a robotic system that includes a surgical instrument with a wrist including an elongate shaft extending between a proximal end and a distal end, a wrist extending from the distal end of the elongate shaft, and an end effector extending from the wrist. The end effector may include a first jaw and a second jaw, the first and second jaw being moveable between an open position in which ends of the jaws are separated from each other, and a closed position in which the ends of the jaws are closer to each other as compared to the open position. The surgical instrument may also include a tube extending through the elongate shaft and the wrist, the tube having an outlet in fluid communication with a passage formed by an interior of the first and second jaws when the jaws are in the closed position.
