Abstract: A surgical system comprises an articulated mechanical arm comprising arm segments connected serially by arm joints that flex and rotate, and first and second input-devices. The second input-device comprises a handle configurable to be oriented in any orientation in an x-y-z space, and the handle comprises segment members and joint members corresponding to the arm segments and arm joints of the arm. The arm joints can be actuatable by, and have the same degrees of freedom as, the handle joint member. A method of using the surgical system includes retroflecting the arm, transitioning control of the arm from the first input device to the second input device, and performing a surgical action, during which a displacement vector or a reorientation arc of the handle member through the x-y-z space is translated to a corresponding displacement vector or corresponding reorientation arc of the end effector in the same x-y-z space.

Abstract: A surgical system, comprising an articulated mechanical arm with a plurality of arm joints, first and second user-input devices for controlling the arm, and a surgical end effector at the distal end of the arm, is operated initially in a retroflexing mode with the first user-input device is active to direct flexion and rotation of only a single given arm joints, and with the second user-input device is disabled. While in the retroflexing mode, a distal portion of the arm is retroflected by flexion and rotation of the single given arm joint. With the arm retroflected, the system is transitioned to surgical-operation mode which enables the second user-input device to flex and rotate any or all of the arm joints, to move the surgical end-effector to perform one or more surgical actions.
