Abstract
The system includes a pair of surgical instruments that are coupled to a pair of robotic arms. The instruments have end effectors that can be manipulated to hold and suture tissue. The robotic arms are coupled to a pair of master handles by a controller. The handles can be moved by the surgeon to produce a corresponding movement of the end effectors. The movement of the handles is scaled so that the end effectors have a corresponding movement that is different, typically smaller, than the movement performed by the hands of the surgeon. The scale factor is adjustable so that the surgeon can control the resolution of the end effector movement. The movement of the end effector can be controlled by an input button, so that the end effector only moves when the button is depressed by the surgeon. The input button allows the surgeon to adjust the position of the handles without moving the end effector, so that the handles can be moved to a more comfortable position. The system may also have a robotically controlled endoscope which allows the surgeon to remotely view the surgical site. A cardiac procedure can be performed by making small incisions in the patient's skin and inserting the instruments and endoscope into the patient. The surgeon manipulates the handles and moves the end effectors to perform a cardiac procedure such as a coronary artery bypass graft.

- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a system and method for performing minimally invasive cardiac procedures. More particularly, the present invention relates to a robotic system and surgical instruments that may be removably attached thereto, wherein said system aids in performing minimally invasive surgical procedures.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Blockage of a coronary artery may deprive the heart of the blood and oxygen required to sustain life. The blockage may be removed with medication or by an angioplasty. For severe blockage a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is performed to bypass the blocked area of the artery. CABG procedures are typically performed by splitting the sternum and pulling open the chest cavity to provide access to the heart. An incision is made in the artery adjacent to the blocked area. The internal mammary artery (IMA) is then severed and attached to the artery at the point of incision. The IMA bypasses the blocked area of the artery to again provide a full flow of blood to the heart. Splitting the sternum and opening the chest cavity, commonly referred to as ‘open surgery’, can create a tremendous trauma on the patient. Additionally, the cracked sternum prolongs the recovery period of the patient.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Blockage of a coronary artery may deprive the heart of the blood and oxygen required to sustain life. The blockage may be removed with medication or by an angioplasty. For severe blockage a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is performed to bypass the blocked area of the artery. CABG procedures are typically performed by splitting the sternum and pulling open the chest cavity to provide access to the heart. An incision is made in the artery adjacent to the blocked area. The internal mammary artery (IMA) is then severed and attached to the artery at the point of incision. The IMA bypasses the blocked area of the artery to again provide a full flow of blood to the heart. Splitting the sternum and opening the chest cavity, commonly referred to as ‘open surgery’, can create a tremendous trauma on the patient. Additionally, the cracked sternum prolongs the recovery period of the patient.
- There have been attempts to perform CABG procedures without opening the chest cavity. Minimally invasive procedures are conducted by inserting surgical instruments and an endoscope through small incision in the skin of the patient. Manipulating such instruments can be awkward, particularly when suturing a graft to an artery. It has been found that a high level of dexterity is required to accurately control the instruments. Additionally, human hands typically have at least a minimal amount of tremor. The tremor further increases the difficulty of performing minimally invasive cardiac procedures.
- To perform MIS, the surgeon uses special instruments. These instruments allow the surgeon to maneuver inside the patient. One type of instrument that is used in minimally invasive surgery is forceps, an instrument having a tip specifically configured to grasp objects, such as needles. Because forceps and other instruments designed for minimally invasive surgery are generally long and rigid, they fail to provide a surgeon the dexterity and precision necessary to effectively carry out many procedures in a minimally invasive fashion. For example, conventional MIS forceps are not well suited for manipulating a needle during a minimally invasive procedure, such as during endoscopy. Therefore, many MIS procedures that might be performed, have, as of yet, not been accomplished.
- In essence, during open surgeries, the tips of the various instruments may be positioned with six degrees of freedom. However, by inserting an instrument through a small aperture, such as one made in a patient to effectuate a minimally invasive procedure, two degrees of freedom are lost. It is this loss of freedom of movement within the surgical site that has substantially limited the types of MIS procedures that are performed.
- Dexterity is lacking in MIS because the instruments that are used fail to provide the additional degrees of freedom that are lost when the instrument is inserted into a patient. One problem associated with this lack of dexterity is the inability to suture when the instruments are in certain positions. As a result, surgeries that require a great deal of suturing within the surgical site are almost impossible to perform because the surgical instruments to enable much of this work are not available.
- Another problem associated with MIS is the lack of precision within the surgical site. For procedures such as the MICABG (Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Graft), extremely small sutures must be emplaced in various locations proximate the heart. As such, precise motion of the tool at the tip of a surgical instrument is necessary. Currently, with hand positioned instruments, the precision necessary for such suturing is lacking.
- As such, what is needed in the art is a tool and class of surgical instruments that may be articulated within the patient such that a surgeon has additional degrees of freedom available to more dexterously and precisely position the tool at the tip of the instrument, as is needed.
- Additionally, what is needed in the art is a method and mechanism that provides simple handle, instrument and tool changing capabilities so that various tools may be easily and readily replaced to enable faster procedures to thus minimize operating room costs to the patient and to lessen the amount of time a patient is under anesthesia.
- It is to the solution of the aforementioned problems to which the present invention is directed. There have been attempts to perform CABG procedures without opening the chest cavity. Minimally invasive procedures are conducted by inserting surgical instruments and an endoscope through small incision in the skin of the patient. Manipulating such instruments can be awkward, particularly when suturing a graft to an artery. It has been found that a high level of dexterity is required to accurately control the instruments. Additionally, human hands typically have at least a minimal amount of tremor. The tremor further increases the difficulty of performing minimally invasive cardiac procedures.

- Additionally, what is needed in the art is a method and mechanism that provides simple handle, instrument and tool changing capabilities so that various tools may be easily and readily replaced to enable faster procedures to thus minimize operating room costs to the patient and to lessen the amount of time a patient is under anesthesia.
- It is to the solution of the aforementioned problems to which the present invention is directed.
- The present invention is a system for performing minimally invasive surgical procedures, and more particularly, minimally invasive cardiac procedures. The system includes a pair or more of surgical instruments that are coupled to a pair or more of robotic arms. The system may include only a single surgical instrument and a single robotic arm as well and as is hereinbelow disclosed. The instruments have end effectors that can be manipulated to sever, grasp, cauterize, irradiate and suture tissue. Each robotic arm is coupled to a master handle by a controller. The robotic arms may be selectively connected to a specific master handle such that a surgeon may selectively control one or more of a plurality of robotic arms. The handles can be moved by the surgeon to produce a corresponding movement of the end effectors and the surgical tools attached thereto. The movement of the handles is scaled so that the end effectors have a corresponding movement that is different, typically smaller, than the movement performed by the hands of the surgeon. This helps in removing any tremor the surgeon might have in their hands. The scale factor is adjustable so that the surgeon can control the resolution of the end effector movement. The scale factor may be effectuated via a voice recognition system, control buttons or the like. The movement of the end effector can be controlled by an input button, so that the end effector only moves when the button is depressed or toggled by the surgeon. Alternatively, the movement can be activated via voice control in a manner similar to the scaling factor adjustment set out hereinbelow. The input button allows the surgeon to adjust the position of the handles without moving the end effector, so that the handles can be moved to a more comfortable position. The system may also have a robotically controlled endoscope which allows the surgeon to remotely view the surgical site. A cardiac procedure can be performed by making small incisions in the patient's skin and inserting the instruments and endoscope into the patient. The surgeon manipulates the handles and moves the end effectors to perform a cardiac procedure such as a coronary artery bypass graft or heart valve surgery.
- The present invention is additionally directed to a surgical instrument and method of control thereof which permits the surgeon to articulate the tip of the instrument, while retaining the function of the tool at the tip of the instrument. As such, the instrument tip may be articulated with two degrees of freedom, all the while the tool disposed at the tip may be used.
- The robotic system generally comprises: a robotic arm; a coupler attached to the arm; a surgical instrument that is held by the coupler; a controller, and wherein movement at the controller produces a proportional movement of the robotic arm and surgical instrument.
- The present invention may include a surgical instrument that has an elongated rod. The elongated rod has a longitudinal axis and generally serves as the arm of the endoscopic instrument. An articulate portion is mounted to and extends beyond the elongated rod. Alternatively, the articulate portion may be integrally formed with the elongated rod. The articulate portion has a proximal portion, a pivot linkage and a distal portion. The proximal portion may include a pair of fingers. The fingers may be orthogonal to each other and oriented radially to the longitudinal axis of the elongated rod. For use in surgical procedures, it is generally preferable that the instrument and the majority of the components therein are formed of stainless steel, plastic, or some other easily sterilizable material. Each of the fingers may have at least one aperture formed therein to allow the passage of a pin which aids in the attachment of the pivot linkage to the proximal portion of the articulate portion and which allows the pivot linkage to be pivotally mounted to the proximal portion. The articulate portion provides articulation at the tip of an instrument that includes the articulate portion. More particularly, this provides additional degrees of freedom for the tool at the tip of an instrument that includes an articulate portion.
- An instrument such as that disclosed hereinbelow, when used in conjunction with the present surgical system, provides the surgeon additional dexterity, precision, and flexibility not yet achieved in minimally invasive surgical procedures. As such, operation times may be shortened and patient trauma greatly reduced.
- To provide increased precision in positioning the articulated tip as disclosed hereinbelow, there is provided two additional degrees of freedom to the master controller. Each of the two additional degrees of freedom are mapped to each of the degrees of freedom at the instrument tip. This is accomplished through the addition of two joints on the master and automatic means for articulating the instrument eat tip in response to movements made at the master.

FIG. 1 shows asystem 10 that can be used to perform minimally invasive surgery. In a preferred embodiment, thesystem 10 may be used to perform a minimally invasive coronary artery bypass graft, or Endoscopic coronary artery bypass graft (E-CABG) and other anastomostic procedures. Although a MI-CABG procedure is shown and described, it is to be understood that the system may be used for other surgical procedures. For example, the system can be used to suture any pair of vessels as well as cauterizing, cutting, and radiating structures within a patient. - The
system 10 is used to perform a procedure on a patient 12 that is typically lying on an operating table 14. Mounted to the operating table 14 is a firstarticulate arm 16, a secondarticulate arm 18 and a thirdarticulate arm 20. The articulate arms 16-20 are preferably mounted to the table so that the arms are in a plane proximate the patient. It is to be appreciated that the arms may be mounted to a cart or some other device that places the arms proximate the plane of the patient as well. Although three articulate arms are shown and described, it is to be understood that the system may have any number of arms, such as one or more arms. - The first and second
articulate arms base housing 25 and arobotic arm assembly 26 extending from thebase housing 25.Surgical instruments robotic arm assembly 26 of the first and secondarticulate arms instruments robotic arm assembly 26 in a variety of fashions which will be discussed in further detail hereinbelow. - The third
articulate arm 20 additionally comprises abase housing 25 and arobotic arm assembly 26, and preferably has anendoscope 28 that is attached to therobotic arm assembly 26. Thebase housing 25 androbotic arm assemblies 26 of each of thearticulate arms articulate arm 20, may be different as the purpose of the third articulate arm is to hold and position theendoscope 28 as opposed to hold and position a surgical instrument. Additionally, afourth arm 29 may be included in thesystem 10. Thefourth arm 29 may hold anadditional instrument 31 for purposes set out hereinbelow. - The
instruments endoscope 28 are inserted through incisions cut into the skin of thepatient 12. Theendoscope 28 has acamera 30 that is coupled to amonitor 32 which displays images of the internal organs of thepatient 12. - Each
robotic arm assembly 26 has abase motor 34 which moves thearm assembly 26 in a linear fashion, relative to thebase housing 25, as indicated by arrows Q. Eachrobotic arm assembly 26 also includes a firstrotary motor 36 and a secondrotary motor 38. Each of therobotic arm assemblies 26 also have a pair of passive joints 40 and 42. The passive joints 40, 42 are preferably disposed orthogonal to each other to provide pivotal movement of theinstrument endoscope 28 that is attached to a correspondingrobotic arm assembly 26. The passive joints may be spring biased in any specific direction, however, they are not actively motor driven. The joint angle is controlled to a particular value using a feedback control loop. Therobotic arm assemblies 26 also have acoupling mechanism 45 to couple theinstruments endoscope 28 thereto. Additionally, each of therobotic arm assemblies 26 has a motor drivenworm gear 44 to rotate theinstrument endoscope 28 attached thereto about its longitudinal axis. More particularly, the motor driven worm gear spins the instruments or endoscope. - The first, second, and third
articulate arms fourth arm 29 are coupled to acontroller 46 which can control the movement of the arms. The arms are coupled to thecontroller 46 via wiring, cabling, or via a transmitter/receiver system such that control signals may be passed form thecontroller 46 to each of thearticulate arms articulate arms controller 46 that eacharm arm controller 46 via electrical cabling 47. However, it is possible to control each of thearms - The
controller 46 is connected to aninput device 48 such as a foot pedal, hand controller, or voice recognition unit. For purposes of example, a foot controller and voice recognition unit are disclosed herein. Theinput device 48 can be operated by a surgeon to move the location of theendoscope 28 and view a different portion of the patient by depressing a corresponding button(s) disposed on theinput device 48. Alternatively, theendoscope 28 may be positioned via voice control. Essentially, a vocabulary of instructions to move the endoscope, such as up, down, back, and in may be recognized via a speech recognition system and the appropriate instructions are sent to the controller. The speech recognition system may be any well-known speech recognition software. Additionally, thecontroller 46 includes a vocabulary of appropriate words that may be used with thesystem 10. Including such a vocabulary in thecontroller 46 may be accomplished through the inclusion of the aforementioned speech recognition software. To effectuate the voice recognition amicrophone 37 is included in thesystem 10. Themicrophone 37 may be part of a digital system such that integrity of the signal is ensure. - The
controller 46 receives the input signals from theinput device 48 and moves theendoscope 28 androbotic arm assembly 26 of the thirdarticulate arm 20 in accordance with the input commands of the surgeon. Each of therobotic arm assemblies 26 may be devices that are sold by the assignee of the present invention, Computer Motion, Inc. of Goleta, Calif., under the trademark AESOP. The system is also described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,515,478, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Although afoot pedal 49 is shown and described, it is to be understood that the system may have other input means such as a hand controller, or a speech recognition interface. - The movement and positioning of
instruments articulate arms articulate arms handle surgical instrument articulate arm switch 51 may be included in thesystem 10. Theswitch 51 may be used by the surgeon to allow positioning of thefourth arm 29. This is accomplished because the position of theswitch 51 allows the surgeon to select which of the arms aspecific handle handles switch 51 may be connected to a multiplexer to act as a selector so that output from the multiplexer is transmitted to the appropriate robotic arm. Alternatively, the switch may have several positions and may, therefore, direct its output to the appropriate input on thecontroller 46. - The
handles portable cabinet 54. A second television monitor 56 may be placed onto thecabinet 54 and coupled to theendoscope 28 via well-known means so that the surgeon can readily view the internal organs of thepatient 12. Thehandles controller 46. Thecontroller 46 receives input signals from thehandles robotic arm assemblies 26 andinstruments instruments system 10 of the present invention both seated or standing. One advantage of the present system is that a surgeon may perform endoscopic surgeries in a sitting position. This helps reduce surgeon fatigue and may improve performance and outcomes in the operating room, especially during those procedures that are many hours in length. To accommodate a seated position, achair 57 may be provided with the system. - Alternatively, and as depicted in
FIGS. 31-33 , thehandles handle stand 900. Thehandle stand 900 essentially provides for adjustment of the height and tilt of thehandles handle stand 900 includes abase 902, aneck 904 and ahandle portion 906. The base 902 may be adjusted so that thehandle stand 900 is tilted. Alever 908 connected to anelongated rod 910 may provide a means for tilting thehandle stand 900. As such, thestand 900 may be tilted such that a surgeon using thesystem 10 can remain comfortable standing or sitting while manipulating thehandles - Additionally, the
handle stand 900 may be heightened or shortened depending upon the position of the surgeon (i.e. standing or sitting). This is accomplished via atelescoping section 912. Thetelescoping section 912 includes an upper portion 914 telescopingly housed within a lower portion 916. A spring biaseddetent 918 is attached to the upper portion 914 and a plurality of apertures 920 are provided in the lower portion 916 such that thedetent 918 seats in an associated aperture 920. The upper portion 914 may be extended by depressing thedetent 918 and pulling up on thestand 900. Alternatively, thestand 900 may be lowered by depressing the detent and pushing down on thestand 900. Thetelescoping section 912 and associated mechanisms serve as a means to raise and lower thestand 900. - Additionally, and as depicted in
FIGS. 31-33 , thehandles stand 900 via a plurality ofrollers 930 and anelongated rod 932. Motion of therod 932 is transmitted to a plurality ofgears 934 disposed on thestand 900. Thegears 934 may be housed within ahousing 936 to protect them from the environment and to preclude access thereto. Additionally,potentiometers 938 are utilized to measure the position of thehandles cabinet 54 or astand 900. As thehandles controller 46 in either case. - Each handle has multiple degrees of freedom provided by the various joints Jm1-Jm5 depicted in
FIG. 2 . Joints Jm1 and Jm2 allow the handle to rotate about a pivot point in thecabinet 54 or on thestand 900. Joint Jm3 allows the surgeon to move the handle into and out of thecabinet 54 in a linear manner or in a similar manner on thestand 900. Joint Jm4 allows the surgeon to rotate the master handle about a longitudinal axis of the handle. The joint Jm5 allows a surgeon to open and close a gripper. - Each joint Jm1-Jm5 has one or more position sensors which provides feedback signals that correspond to the relative position of the handle. The position sensors may be potentiometers, or any other feedback device such as rotary optical encoders that provides an electrical signal which corresponds to a change of position. Additionally, a plurality of position sensors may be emplaced at each joint to provide redundancy in the system which can be used to alert a surgeon of malfunctions or improper positioning of a corresponding
robotic arm assembly 26. - In addition to position sensors, each joint may include tachometers, accelerometers, and force sensing load cells, each of which may provide electrical signals relating to velocity, acceleration and force being applied at a respective joint. Additionally, actuators may be included at each joint to reflect force feed back received at a
robotic arm assembly 26. This may be especially helpful at joint Jm5 to indicate the force encountered inside a patient by the gripper disposed at the end of one of thetools instrument system 10. -
FIG. 3 shows the various degrees of freedom of eacharticulate arm base motor 34 androtary motors robotic arm assemblies 26, respectively. The joints Js4 and Js5 correspond to the passive joints 40 and 42 of thearms 26. The joint Js6 may be a motor which rotates the surgical instruments about the longitudinal axis of the instrument. The joint Js7 may be a pair of fingers that can open and close. Theinstruments -
FIG. 4 shows a schematic of a control system that translates a movement of a master handle into a corresponding movement of a surgical instrument. In accordance with the control system shown inFIG. 4 , thecontroller 46 computes output signals for the articulate arms so that the surgical instrument moves in conjunction with the movement of the handle. Each handle may have aninput button 58 which enables the inset to move with the handle. When theinput button 58 is depressed the surgical instrument follows the movement of the handle. When thebutton 58 is released the instrument does not track the movement of the handle. In this manner the surgeon can adjust or “ratchet” the position of the handle without creating a corresponding undesirable movement of the instrument. The “ratchet” feature allows the surgeon to continuously move the handles to more desirable positions without altering the positions of the arms. Additionally, because the handles are constrained by a pivot point the ratchet feature allows the surgeon to move the instruments beyond the dimensional limitations of the handles. Although aninput button 58 is shown and described, it is to be understood that the surgical instrument may be activated by other means such as voice recognition. Using the voice recognition would require a specifically vocabulary such as “AWAKE” and “SLEEP” or some other two words having opposing meanings. Voice recognition is well known in general, and it is the specific use of voice recognition in thissystem 10 that has substantial novelty and utility. - The input button may alternatively be latched so that movement of the corresponding instrument toggles between active and inactive each time the button is depressed by the surgeon.
- When the surgeon moves a handle, the position sensors provide feedback signals M1-M5 at correspond to the movement of the joints Jm1-Jm5, respectively. The
controller 46 computes the difference between the new handle position and the original handle position incomputation block 60 to generate incremental position values sub.-M1-.sub.-M5. - The incremental position values .sub.-M1-M5 are multiplied by scale factors S1-S5, respectively in
block 62. The scale factors are typically set at less than one so that the movement of the instrument is less than the movement of the handle. In this manner the surgeon can produce very fine movements of the instruments with relatively coarse movements of the handles. The scale factors S1-S5 are variable so that the surgeon can vary the resolution of instrument movement. Each scale factor is preferably individually variable so that the surgeon can more finely control the instrument in certain directions. By way of example, by setting one of the scale factors at zero the surgeon can prevent the instrument from moving in one direction. This may be advantageous if the surgeon does not want the surgical instrument to contact an organ or certain tissue located in a certain direction relative to the patient. Although scale factors smaller than a unit one are described, it is to be understood that a scale factor may be greater than one. For example, it may be desirable to spin the instrument at a greater rate than a corresponding spin of the handle. - The
controller 46 adds the incremental values .sub.-M1-.sub.-M5 to the initial joint angles Mj1-Mj5 inadder element 64 to provide values Mr1-Mr5. Thecontroller 46 then computes desired slave vector calculations incomputation block 66 in accordance with the following equations. -
Rdx=Mr3.multidot.sin(Mr2).multidot.cos(Mr1+Px -
Rdy=Mr3.multidot.sin(Mr2).multidot.sin(Mr1)+Py -
Rdz=Mr3.multidot.cos(Mr2)+Pz -

Sdg=Mr5 - where;
- Rdx,y,z=the new desired position of the end effector of the instrument.
- Sdr=the angular rotation of the instrument about the instrument longitudinal axis.
- Sdg=the amount of movement of the instrument fingers.
- Px,y,z=the position of the pivot point P.
- The
controller 46 then computes the movement of therobotic arm 26 incomputational block 68 in accordance with the following equations. -
Jsd1=Rdz##EQU1## -

- Jsd1=the movement of the linear motor.
- Jsd2=the movement of the first rotary motor.
- Jsd3=the movement of the second rotary motor.
- Jsd6=the movement of the rotational motor.
- Jsd7=the movement of the gripper.
- L1=the length of the linkage arm between the first rotary motor and the second rotary motor.
- L2=the length of the linkage arm between the second rotary motor and the passive joints.
- The controller provides output signals to the motors to move the arm and instrument in the desired location in
block 70. This process is repeated for each movement of the handle. - The master handle will have a different spatial position relative to the surgical instrument if the surgeon releases, or toggles, the input button and moves the handle. When the
input button 58 is initially depressed, thecontroller 46 computes initial joint angles Mj1-Mj5 incomputational block 72 with the following equations. -
Mj1=tan.sup.−1(ty/tx) -
Mj2=tan.sup.−1(d/tz) -
Mj3=D -
Mj4=Js6 - Mj5=Js7 ##EQU3## The forward kinematic values are computed in
block 74 with the following equations. -
Rsx=L1.multidot.cos(Js2)+L2.multidot.cos(Js2+Js3) -
Rsy=L1.multidot.sin(Js2)+L2.multidot.sin(Js2+Js3) -
Rsz=J1 - The joint angles Mj are provided to adder 64. The pivot points Px, Py and Pz are computed in
computational block 76 as follows. The pivot point is calculated by initially determining the original position of the intersection of the end effector and the instrument PO, and the unit vector Uo which has the same orientation as the instrument. The position P(x, y, z) values can be derived from various position sensors of the robotic arm. Referring toFIG. 5 the instrument is within a first coordinate frame (x, y, z) which has the angles .theta.4 and .theta.5. The unit vector Uo is computed by the transformation matrix: ##EQU4## - After each movement of the end effector an angular movement of the instrument .DELTA..theta. is computed by taking the arcsin of the cross-product of the first and second unit vectors Uo and U1 of the instrument in accordance with the following line equations Lo and L1.
-
.DELTA.,theta.=arcsin(.vertline.T.vertline.) -
T=Uo.times.U1 - where;
- T=a vector which is a cross-product of unit vectors Uo and U1.
- The unit vector of the new instrument position U1 is again determined using the position sensors and the transformation matrix described above. If the angle .DELTA..theta. is greater than a threshold value, then a new pivot point is calculated and Uo is set to U1. As shown in
FIG. 6 , the first and second instrument orientations can be defined by the line equations Lo and L1: - Lo:
-
xo=M.sub.xo.multidot.Zo+Cxo -
yo=Myo.multidot.Zo+Cyo - L1:
-
x1=Mx1.multidot.Z1+Cx1 -
y1=My1.multidot.Z1+Cy1 - where;
- Zo=a Z coordinate along the line Lo relative to the z axis of the first coordinate system.
- Z1=a Z coordinate along the line L1 relative to the z axis of the first coordinate system.
- Mxo=a slope of the line Lo as a function of Zo.
- Myo=a slope of the line Lo as a function of Zo.
- Mx1=a slope of the line L1 as a function of Z1.
- My1=a slope of the line L1 as a function of Z1.
- Cxo=a constant which represents the intersection of the line Lo and the x axis of the first coordinate system.
- Cyo=a constant which represents the intersection of the line Lo and the y axis of the first coordinate system.
- Cx1=a constant which represents the intersection of the L1 and the x axis of the first coordinate system.
- Cy1=a constant which represents the intersection of the line L1 and the y axis of the first coordinate system.
- The slopes are computed using the following algorithms:
-
Mxo=Uxo/Uzo -
Myo=Uyo/Uzo -
Mx1=Ux1/Uz1 -
My1=Uy1/Uz1 -
CxO=Pox−Mx1.multidot.Poz -
CyO=Poy−My1.multidot.Poz -
Cx1=PIx−Mx1−P1z -
Cy1=P1y−My1−P1z - where;
- Uo(x, y and z)=the unit vectors of the instrument in the first position within the first coordinate system.
- U1(x, y and z)=the unit vectors of the instrument in the second position within the first coordinate system.
- Po(x, y and z)=the coordinates of the intersection of the end effector and the instrument in the first position within the first coordinate system.
- P1(x, y and z) the coordinates of the intersection of the end effector and the instrument in the second position within the first coordinate system.
- To find an approximate pivot point location, the pivot points of the instrument in the first orientation Lo (pivot point Ro) and in the second orientation L1 (pivot point R1) are determined, and the distance half way between the two points Ro and R1 is computed and stored as the pivot point R.sub.ave of the instrument. The pivot point R.sub.ave is determined by using the cross-product vector T.
- To find the points Ro and R1 the following equalities are set to define a line with the same orientation as the vector T that passes through both Lo and L1.
-
tx=Tx/Tz -
ty=Ty/Tz - where;
- tx=the slope of a line defined by vector T relative to the Z-x plane of the first coordinate system.
- ty=the slope of a line defined by vector T relative to the Z-y plane of the first coordinate system.
- Tx=the x component of the vector T.
- Ty=the y component of the vector T.
- Tz=the z component of the vector T.
- Picking two points to determine the slopes Tx, Ty and Tz (eg. Tx=x1−xo, Ty=y1−yo and Tz=z1−z0) and substituting the line equations Lo and L1, provides a solution for the point coordinates for Ro (xo, yo, zo) and R1 (x1, y1, z1) as follows.
-
zo=((Mx1−tx)z1+Cx1−Cxo)/(Mxo−tx) -
z1=((Cy1−Cyo)(Mxo−tx)−(Cx1−Cxo)(Myo−ty))/((Myo−ty)(MX1tx)−(My1−ty)(Mxo−tx)) -
yo=Myo.multidot.żo+Cyo -
y1=My1−z1+Cy1 -
xo=Mxo−zo+Cxo -
x1=Mx1.multidot.z1+Cx1 - The average distance between the pivot points Rc and R1 is computed with the following equation and stored as the pivot point of the instrument.
-
R.sub.ave=((x1+xo)/2,(y1+yo)/2,(z1+zo)/2 - The pivot point can be continually updated with the above described algorithm routine. Any movement of the pivot point can be compared to a threshold value and a warning signal can be issued or the robotic system can become disengaged if the pivot point moves beyond a set limit. The comparison with a set limit may be useful in determining whether the patient is being moved, or the instrument is being manipulated outside of the patient, situations which may result in injury to the patient or the occupants of the operating room.
- While substantial real time movement of the robotic arms is provided, it may be appreciated that pre-planned movements may be incorporated into the
present system 10. This is most advantageous with regard to movement of the endoscope. Any type of movement may be stored in am associated memory of the controller so that a surgeon may define his own favorite movements and then actuate such movement by pressing a button or via voice control. Because the movement is taught in the present application as well as those patents incorporated herein by reference, no further disclosure of this concept is required. - To provide feedback to the surgeon, the
system 10 may include a voice feedback unit. As such, it the robotic arms suffer any malfunction, the voice feedback may supply a message that such error has occurred. Additionally, messages regarding instrument location, time-in-use, as well as a host of other data may be supplied to the surgeon through the voice feedback unit. If such a condition occurs that requires a message, the system has a set of messages stored in an associated memory, such message may be encoded and saved in the memory. Aspeech synthesis unit 89, as depicted inFIG. 1 can then vocalize the message to the surgeon. In this fashion, a surgeon can maintain sight of the operative environment as opposed to looking for messages displayed on a video screen or the like. Speech synthesis is well known, although its inclusion in a master-slave robotic system for minimally invasive surgery is heretofore unknown and present novel and unobvious advantages. - To provide feedback to the surgeon the fingers of the instruments may have pressure sensors that sense the reacting force provided by the object being grasped by the end effector. Referring to
FIG. 4 , thecontroller 46 receives the pressure sensor signals Fs and generates corresponding signals Cm inblock 78 that are provided to an actuator located within the handle. The actuator provides a corresponding pressure on the handle which is transmitted to the surgeon's hand. The pressure feedback allows the surgeon to sense the pressure being applied by the instrument. As an alternate embodiment the handle may be coupled to the end effector fingers by a mechanical cable that directly transfers the grasping force of the fingers to the hands of the surgeon. -
FIG. 7 shows a preferred embodiment of anend effector 80 that may be used in the present invention. Theend effector 80 includes asurgical instrument 82, such as those disclosed hereinabove 22, 24, that is coupled to a frontloading tool driver 84. Theend effector 80 is mounted to one of the robotic arm assemblies 2-6 bycoupling mechanism 45. Thecoupling mechanism 45 includes acollar 85 that removably attaches to aholder 86. Theholder 86 includes aworm gear 87 that is driven by a motor in therobotic arm assembly 26 to rotate thecollar 85 and in turn rotate theinstrument 82 about its longitudinal axis. Theholder 86 includes ashaft 88 that seats into a slot in therobotic arm assembly 26. Theshaft 88 may be turned by the motor in the arm assembly, which then rotates theworm gear 87 thus rotating thecollar 86 and theinstrument 82. A tighteningtool 89 may be employed to tighten and loosen the collar about theinstrument 82. Such a tool operates like a chuck key, to tighten and loosen thecollar 86. - The
surgical instrument 82 has afirst finger 90 that is pivotally connected to asecond finger 91. Thefingers instrument 82. Thefirst finger 90 is coupled to arod 92 that extends through acenter channel 94 of theinstrument 82. Theinstrument 82 may have anouter sleeve 96 which cooperates with a spring biased ballquick disconnect fastener 98. Thequick disconnect 98 allows instruments other than the finger grasper to be coupled to frontloading tool driver 84. For example, theinstrument 82 may be decoupled from thequick disconnect 98 and replaced by a cutting tool, a suturing tool, a stapling tool adapted for use in this system, such as the stapling apparatus disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,499,990 or U.S. Pat. No. 5,389,103 assigned to Karlsruhe, a cutting blade, or other surgical tools used in minimally invasive surgery. Thequick disconnect 98 allows the surgical instruments to be interchanged without having to re-sterilize the frontloading tool driver 84 each time an instrument is plugged into thetool driver 84. The operation of the frontloading tool driver 84 shall be discussed in further detail hereinbelow. - The
quick disconnect 98 has a slot 100 that receives apin 102 of the frontloading tool driver 84. Thepin 102 locks thequick disconnect 98 to the front loading tool driver 100. Thepin 102 can be released by depressing a spring biased lever 104. Thequick disconnect 98 has apiston 106 that is attached to thetool rod 92 and in abutment with an output piston 108 of aload cell 110 located within the frontloading tool driver 84. - The
load cell 110 is mounted to alead screw nut 112. Thelead screw nut 112 is coupled to alead screw 114 that extends from agear box 116. Thegear box 116 is driven by areversible motor 118 tit is coupled to anencoder 120. Theentire end effector 80 is rotated by the motor drivenworm gear 87. - In operation, the
motor 118 of the frontloading tool driver 84 receives input commands from thecontroller 46 via electrical wiring, or a transmitter/receiver system and activates, accordingly. Themotor 118 rotates thelead screw 114 which moves thelead screw nut 112 andload cell 110 in a linear manner. Movement of theload cell 110 drives thecoupler piston 106 andtool rod 92, which rotate thefirst finger 88. Theload cell 110 senses the counteractive force being applied to the fingers and provides a corresponding feedback signal to thecontroller 46. - The front
loading tool driver 84 may be covered with asterile drape 124 so that thetool driver 84 does not have to be sterilized after each surgical procedure. Additionally, therobotic arm assembly 26 is preferably covered with asterile drape 125 so that it does not have to be sterilized either. Thedrapes loading tool driver 84 androbotic arm assembly 26. Thedrape 125 used to enclose therobotic arm assembly 26 is depicted in further detail inFIG. 26 . Thedrape 125 has a substantiallyopen end 300 wherein therobotic arm assembly 26 may be emplaced into thedrape 125. Thedrape 125 additionally includes a substantially taperedenclosed end 302 that effectively separates thearm assembly 26 from the operating room environment. Awasher 304 having asmall aperture 306 formed therethrough allows an instrument to be coupled to thearm assembly 26 via thecoupling mechanism 45. Thewasher 304 reinforces thedrape 125 to ensure that thedrape 125 does not tear as thearm assembly 26 moves about. Essentially, the instrument cannot be enclosed in thedrape 125 because it is to be inserted into thepatient 12. Thedrape 125 also includes a plurality oftape 308 having adhesive 310 disposed thereon. At least one piece oftape 308 is opposedly arranged the other pieces oftape 308 to effectuate the closing of thedrape 125 about thearm assembly 26. -
FIGS. 8 and 8 a show a preferred embodiment of amaster handle assembly 130. Themaster handle assembly 130 includes amaster handle 132 that is coupled to anarm 134. The master handle 132 may be coupled to thearm 134 by apin 136 that is inserted into acorresponding slot 138 in thehandle 132. Thehandle 132 has acontrol button 140 that can be depressed by the surgeon. Thecontrol button 140 is coupled to aswitch 142 by ashaft 144. Thecontrol button 140 corresponds to theinput button 58 shown inFIG. 4 , and activates the movement of the end effector. - The master handle 132 has a
first gripper 146 that is pivotally connected to a secondstationary gripper 148. Rotation of thefirst gripper 146 creates a corresponding linear movement of ahandle shaft 150. Thehandle shaft 150 moves agripper shaft 152 that is coupled aload cell 154 by abearing 156. Theload cell 154 senses the amount of pressure being applied thereto and provides an input signal to thecontroller 46. Thecontroller 46 then provides an output signal to move the fingers of the end effector. - The
load cell 154 is mounted to alead screw nut 158 that is coupled to alead screw 160. Thelead screw 160 extends from areduction box 162 that is coupled to amotor 164 which has anencoder 166. Thecontroller 46 of the system receives the feedback signal of theload cell 110 in the end effector and provides a corresponding command signal to the motor to move thelead screw 160 and apply a pressure on the gripper so that the surgeon receives feedback relating to the force being applied by the end effector. In this manner the surgeon has a “feel” for operating the end effector. - The handle is attached to a
swivel housing 168 that rotates about bearing 170. Theswivel housing 168 is coupled to aposition sensor 172 by agear assembly 174. Theposition sensor 172 may be a potentiometer which provides feedback signals to thecontroller 46 that correspond to the relative position of the handle. Additionally, an optical encoder may be employed for this purpose. Alternatively, both a potentiometer and an optical encoder may be used to provide redundancy in the system. The swivel movement is translated to a corresponding spin of the end effector by the controller and robotic arm assembly. This same type of assembly is employed in thestand 900. - The
arm 134 may be coupled to alinear bearing 176 andcorresponding position sensor 178 which allow and sense linear movement of the handle. The linear movement of the handle is translated into a corresponding linear movement of the end effector by the controller and robotic arm assembly. The arm can pivot aboutbearings 180, and be sensed byposition sensor 182 located in astand 184. Thestand 184 can rotate about bearing 186 which has acorresponding position sensor 188. The arm rotation is translated into corresponding pivot movement of the end effector by the controller and robotic arm assembly. - A human hand will have a natural tremor typically resonating between 6-12 hertz. To eliminate tracking movement of the surgical instruments with the hand tremor, the system may have a filter that filters out any movement of the handles that occurs within the tremor frequency bandwidth. Referring to
FIG. 4 , thefilter 184 may filter analog signals provided by the potentiometers in a frequency range between 6-12 hertz. Alternatively, an optical encoder and digital filter may be used for this purpose. - As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10A-J, the system is preferably used to perform a cardiac procedure such as a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). The procedure is performed by initially cutting three incisions in the patient and inserting the
surgical instruments endoscope 26 through the incisions. One of thesurgical instruments 22 holds a suturing needle and accompanying thread when inserted into the chest cavity of the patient. If the artery is to be grafted with a secondary vessel, such as a saphenous vein, the othersurgical instrument 24 may hold the vein while the end effector of the instrument is inserted into the patient. - The internal mammary artery (IMA) may be severed and moved by one of the instruments to a graft location of the coronary artery. The coronary artery is severed to create an opening in the artery wall of a size that corresponds to the diameter of the IMA. The incision(s) may be performed by a cutting tool that is coupled to one of the end effectors and remotely manipulated through a master handle. The arteries are clamped to prevent a blood flow from the severed mammary and coronary arteries. The surgeon manipulates the handle to move the IMA adjacent to the opening of the coronary artery. Although grafting of the IMA is shown and described, it is to be understood that another vessel such as a severed saphenous vein may be grafted to bypass a blockage in the coronary artery.
- Referring to
FIGS. 10A-J , the surgeon moves the handle to manipulate the instrument into driving the needle through the IMA and the coronary artery. The surgeon then moves the surgical instrument to grab and pull the needle through the coronary and graft artery as shown inFIG. 10B . As shown inFIG. 10C , the surgical instruments are then manipulated to tie a suture at the heel of the graft artery. The needle can then be removed from the chest cavity. As shown inFIGS. 10D-F , a new needle and thread can be inserted into the chest cavity to suture the toe of the graft artery to the coronary artery. As shown inFIG. 10H-J , new needles can be inserted and the surgeon manipulates the handles to create running sutures from the heel to the toe, and from the toe to the heel. The scaled motion of the surgical instrument allows the surgeon to accurately move the sutures about the chest cavity. Although a specific graft sequence has been shown and described, it is to be understood that the arteries can be grafted with other techniques. In general the system of the present invention may be used to perform any minimally invasive anastomostic procedure. - Additionally, it may be advantageous to utilize a fourth robotic arm to hold a
stabilizer 75. The stabilizer may be a tube or wire or some other medical device that may be emplaced within an artery, vein or similar structure to stabilize such structure. Using theswitch 51 to interengage the fourth robotic arm, with ahandle 50 or 52 a surgeon may position thestabilizer 75 into the vessel. This eases the task of placing a stitch through the vessel as thestabilizer 75 maintains the position of the vessel. Once thestabilizer 75 has been placed, the surgeon then flips the switch or like mechanism to activate the robotic arm that had been disconnected to allow for movement of the fourth robotic arm. Thestabilizer 75 should be substantially rigid and hold its shape. Additionally, the stabilizer should be formed form a material that is sterilizable. Such material are well known in the medical arts. However, this application and configuration is heretofore unknown. - As disclosed hereinabove, the system may include a front
loading tool driver 84 which receives control signals from thecontroller 46 in response to movement of amaster handle loading tool driver 200 may be incorporated into thesystem 10 of the present invention, as depicted inFIGS. 11 and 11 a. The backloading tool driver 200 cooperates with a back loadablesurgical instrument 202. The incorporation of such a backloading tool driver 200 andinstrument 202 expedites tool changing during procedures, as tools may be withdrawn from thetool driver 200 and replaced with other tools in a very simple fashion. - The back
loading tool driver 200 is attached to arobotic arm assembly 26 via a collar and holder as disclosed hereinabove. The back loading tool driver includes asheath 204 having aproximal end 206 and adistal end 208. Thesheath 204 may be formed of plastic or some other well-known material that is used in the construction of surgical instruments. Thesheath 204 is essentially a hollow tube that fits through thecollar 85 and is tightened in place by the tightening tool that is described in more detail hereinabove. - The back loadable
surgical instrument 202 has atool end 210 and a connecting end 212. A surgical tool 214, such as a grasper or some other tool that may be driven by a push/pull rod or cable system, or a surgical tool that does not require such a rod or cable, such as a coagulator, or harmonic scalpel is disposed at thetool end 210 of theinstrument 202. - A housing 216 is disposed at the connecting end 212 of the
instrument 202. The housing has alever 218 disposed interiorly the housing 216. Thelever 218 has apivot point 220 that is established by utilizing a pin passing through an associatedaperture 222 in the lever. The pin may be attached to theinterior wall 224 of the housing. A push/pull cable orrod 226, that extends the length of theinstrument 202 is attached to thelever 218, such that movement of thelever 218 about thepivot point 220 results in a linear movement of the cable orrod 226. Essentially the cable orrod 226 servers as a means 227 for actuating the tool 214 at thetool end 210 of theinstrument 202. The cable orrod 226 may be attached to the lever via a connection pin as well. Thelever 218 has a C-shape, wherein the ends of thelever 218 protrude through twoapertures apertures rings 232 the purpose of which shall be described in more detail hereinbelow. - The
tool end 210 of the back loadablesurgical instrument 202 is emplaced in the hollow tube of the backloading tool driver 200. Thetool 202 may be pushed through the tool driver until thetool end 210 extends beyond thesheath 204. The O-rings 232 seat in associatedapertures housing 238 of thetool driver 200. The housing additionally has anaperture 240 centrally formed therethrough, the aperture being coaxial with the interior of the hollow tube. In this fashion, thesurgical instrument 202 may be inserted into and through thetool driver 200. Each of the O-rings 232 snugly seats in its associated aperture in thehousing 238 of thetool driver 200. - The
housing 238 additionally includes a motor assembly 242 which is depicted inFIG. 11 a. The motor assembly 242 is attached to thehousing 238 and is held firmly in place therein. The motor assembly generally includes amotor 244 attached to a reducer 246. The motor drives aleaf 248 attached at the end thereof. Theleaf 248 engages the ends of thelever 218 such that rotational movement of the motor results in the movement of thelever 218 about thepivot point 220. This in turn results in the lateral movement of the means 227 for actuating the tool 214 at thetool end 210 of theinstrument 202. The motor moves in response to movements at a control handle. Additionally,force sensors leaf 248. As such, a force feedback system may be incorporated to sense the amount of force necessary to actuate the tool 214 at thetool end 210 of theinstrument 202. Alternatively, themotor 244 may have a force feedback device 252 attached thereto, which can be used in a similar fashion. - One advantage of utilizing the back
loading tool driver 200 is that thesheath 204 always remains in thepatient 12. As such, the tools do not have to be realigned, nor does therobotic arm assembly 26 when replacing or exchanging tools. Thesheath 204 retains its position relative to the patient 12 whether or not a toll is placed therethrough. - The
system 10 of the present invention may additionally be supplied with one or two additional degrees of freedom at the tip of an instrument. For the purposes of example, two additional degrees of freedom will be disclosed; however it is to be appreciated that only one degree of freedom may be included as well. To provide the additional degrees of freedom, and as depicted inFIGS. 13-16 , an articulablesurgical instrument 300 may be incorporated into the present. Theinstrument 300 may be coupled to thearm assembly 26 via a collar and holder as disclosed hereinabove. In order to articulate the tip of thearticulable instrument 300 an articulatingtool driver 500 must be employed. The articulatingtool driver 500 shall be described in more detail hereinbelow. The master must have an additional two degrees of freedom added thereto to proved the controls for the articulation at the tip of theinstrument 300.FIG. 25 depicts an alternative master schematic that includes the two additional degrees of freedom. As disclosed hereinbelow, the two additional degrees of freedom are mapped to the articulable portion of theinstrument 300. The two additional axes at the master are referred to as Jm6 and Jm7. - By incorporating the
articulable instrument 300 and the articulatingtool driver 500 and the additional degrees of freedom at the master, difficult maneuvers may be carried out in an easier fashion. - With reference to
FIGS. 13-16 , thearticulable instrument 300 generally includes anelongated rod 302, asheath 304, and atool 306. The tool can be a grasper, a cutting blade, a retractor, a stitching device, or some other well-known tool used in minimally invasive surgical procedures.FIGS. 27-30 show various tools that may be emplaced at the distal end of the articulablesurgical instrument 300. - The
instrument 300 includes anarticulable portion 301 having aproximal portion 308, apivot linkage 310 and a distal portion 212 each of which will be discussed in more detail hereinbelow. Additionally, theinstrument 300 includes means 311 for articulating thearticulable portion 301 of theinstrument 300 with respect to theelongated rod 302. The inclusion of thearticulable portion 301 provides two additional degrees of freedom at the instrument tip. It must also be appreciated that although thearticulable portion 301 is described as including a proximal portion, a pivot linkage and a distal portion, there may be provided a plurality of intermediate portions each mounted to each other via a corresponding pivot linkage. - Disposed between and mounted to each of the respective proximal portion and distal portion and any intervening intermediate portions are
pivot linkages 310. Thepivot linkage 310 interengages with the proximal and distal portions of the articulable portion to provide articulation at the instrument tip. Essentially, the cooperation of the proximal portion, pivot linkage and distal portion serves as a universal joint. - The
elongated rod 302 is preferably hollow and formed of stainless steel or plastic or some other well-know material that is sterilizable. Because therod 302 is hollow, it encompasses and defines an interior 314. Theelongated rod 302 additionally has aproximal end 316 and adistal end 318. Thedistal end 318 of theelongated rod 302 should not be confused with thedistal portion 312 of thearticulable portion 301 of theinstrument 300. - The
proximal portion 308 of thearticulable portion 301 may be integrally formed with theelongated rod 302 or it may be attached thereto vie welding, glue or some other means well-known to the skilled artisan. It is preferable that theproximal portion 308 be integrally formed with theelongated rod 302 to ensure sufficient stability and durability of theinstrument 300. Theproximal portion 308 of thearticulable portion 301 comprises twofingers aperture - A
pivot linkage 310 is mounted to theproximal portion 308 via a plurality ofpins 328 that each pass through an associated aperture in an adjoining finger. Thepivot linkage 310 is a generally flat disk 330 having acentral aperture 332 passing therethrough and fourapertures edge 342. Thepins 328 seat in the apertures of the associated fingers to provide the articulability of theinstrument 300. Five leads 350, 352, 354, 356, 358 extend interiorly the hollow shaft. Onlead 350 extends down the center and passes through thecenter aperture 332 in thepivot linkage 310. Two 352, 354 of the five leads extend down the hollow interior of the instrument and are attached to the pivot linkage such that linear tension on one of the leads results in rotational movement of thepivot portion 301. These two leads 352, 354 attach to the pivot linkage at two of the apertures formed therethrough. Additionally, they attach at those apertures that are adjacent to the pins that pass through the fingers of theproximal portion 308 of thearticulable portion 301 of theinstrument 300. The other twoleads articulable portion 301. Movement of these two leads results in movement of thearticulable portion 301 that is orthogonal to the movement when the twoother leads - To articulate the instrument as a part of the present system, and as depicted in
FIGS. 17-24 , there is provided an articulatingmechanism 400. The articulatingmechanism 400 generally comprises the articulatingtool driver 500, asterile coupler 600, a translator 700 and thearticulable tool 300. - The translator is attached to the
proximal end 316 of theinstrument 300. Theinstrument 300 may additionally have aremovable tool 420 as shown inFIGS. 18-19 . Theremovable tool 420 may be any tool, such as acutter 422 that is attached to an elongated rod orcable 424. At the end of the rod 246 there is disposed aflat section 428 with anaperture 430 formed therethrough. Theflat section 428 seats into a channel 432 disposed at the end of a second cable orrod 434 that travels down the elongated shaft of theinstrument 300. Thesecond cable 434 has a channel 432 formed in the end thereof such that theflat section 428 seats in the channel 432. At least one springbiased detent 436 seats in theaperture 430 disposed through theflat section 428. This connects thetool 420 to the rest of theinstrument 300. As such, tools may be exchanged at the tip of the instrument without having to remove the instrument from thesystem 10 every time a new tool is required. - The
tool 300 is attached to the translator 700 and essentially is integrally formed therewith. The articulatingmechanism 400 is attached to therobotic arm assembly 26 via thecollar 85 as is disclosed hereinabove. Thecollar 85 fits about theshaft 302 of theinstrument 300. - The translator 700 has a
proximal end 702 and adistal end 704. Thedistal end 704 of the translator 700 has a cross sectional shape that is substantially similar to the cross sectional shape of theelongated rod 302 of the instrument 3000. Additionally, the translator 700 has ahollow interior 706. Thecenter rod 350 extends through thehollow interior 706 of the translator 700 and emerges at theproximal end 702 thereof. Two of theleads shoulders 708, 710 that are attached to a firsthollow tube 712 through which thecenter lead 350 extends. The firsthollow tube 712 may be formed of some strong durable material such as stainless steel, steel, hard plastic or the like. - The first
hollow tube 712 is mounted to abearing 714 such that it may be rotated. Rotation of the firsthollow tube 712 results in the linear motion of theleads 352, 254 and the articulation of thearticulable portion 301 of theinstrument 300 in one plane of motion. - A second
hollow tube 716 has a pair of shoulders 718, 719 extending therefrom. Two leads 356, 358 attach to one each of the shoulders 718, 719. Thehollow tube 716 is disposed within a bearingassembly 720 such that it may be rotated. Again, rotation of the secondhollow tube 716 results in linear movement of theleads articulable portion 301 of theinstrument 300 in a plane orthogonal the plane of motion established through the rotation of the first hollow tube. It is to be appreciated that the secondhollow tube 714 radially surrounds the firsthollow tube 712. The translator 700 additionally includes aquick disconnect 722 comprising apin 724 disposed at the end of a springbiased lever 726 which provides removable attachment of the translator 700 to thesterile coupler 600. Both of thehollow tubes notches 750 formed therein at their ends. The notches serve as a means 752 for interconnecting each of the tubes to thesterile coupler 600 which will be discussed in further detail hereinbelow. - The translator 700 is removably attached to the
sterile coupler 600 via thequick disconnect 722. Because thearticulable tool driver 500 is not easily sterilized, it is advantageous to include asterile coupler 600 so that instruments may be exchanged without having to sterilize thearticulable tool driver 500. Additionally, thecoupler 600 provides a means by which the translator 700 may be attached to thetool driver 500 while the tool driver is enclosed in adrape 125 such as that depicted inFIG. 26 . Thetranslator 600 has ahousing 610 Preferably the housing and the components of thecoupler 600 are formed of some easily sterilizable mater such as stainless steel, plastics or other well-known sterilizable materials. Thehousing 610 has a substantially hollow interior 612 and open ends 614 and 616. Twohollow tubes housing 610. To effectuate the rotation of each of thetubes bearings notches 626 formed in the ends thereof so effectuate the attachment of the translator 700 to thecoupler 600 at one end. And to effectuate the attachment of thecoupler 600 to thearticulable tool driver 500 at the other end thereof. - The
pin 724 on the translator may seat in anotch 628 to attach the translator 700 to thecoupler 600. Additionally, thecoupler 600 may include apin 630 attached to a springbiased pivot 632 to effectuate attachment of the coupler to thedriver 500. Thecoupler 600 additionally includes acenter section 634 that slidably receives theend 351 of the center cable orrod 350. Theend 351 may include a tip with acircumferential groove 353 disposed thereabout. The tip seats in arecess 636 formed in thecenter section 634 and is removably locked in place by at least one spring biased detent 638. Atip 640, which is substantially similar to the tip containing thecircumferential groove 353 is disposed adjacent therecess 636 and serves to attach thecable center cable 350 to thearticulable tool driver 500, which will be discussed in further detail hereinbelow. - The
center section 634 is intended to laterally slide within theinnermost tube 618. To effectuate such a sliding motion, a linear bearing may be disposed about the center section interiorly of the innermost tube. Alternatively, thecenter section 634 may be formed of a bearing material that provides smooth sliding within theinnermost tube 618. - The
coupler 600 is removably attached to thearticulable tool driver 500. It is intended that the articulable tool driver be enclosed by adrape 125. Thearticulable tool driver 500 includes a substantiallyhollow housing 502 having a closedfirst end 504 and a substantially opensecond end 504. Securely disposed interiorly thehousing 502 is agripper motor 506, and a pair ofwrist motors controller 46. Alternatively, the motors may receive signals from the controller via a transmitter/receiver system where such systems are well known. It is the application of such a transmitter/receiver system to the present invention that is new. Thegripper motor 506 is attached to aload nut 510 that surrounds aload screw 512. Themotor 506 receives the control signals and turns in response thereto. Theload nut 510 turns which laterally moves theload screw 512. Theload screw 512 is attached to aload cell 514 which may be employed to measure the force required to laterally move thecable 350 which is attached vie thecoupler 600 to thegripper motor 506. This may be used in a force feedback system that may be incorporated in thesystem 10 of the present invention. A rod 516 having achannel 518 formed at the end thereof is attached to theload cell 514. As such, the rod 516 moves in a linear fashion. Thetip 640 of thecoupler 600 seats in thechannel 518 and is removably held in place by at least one spring biased detent or some othersimilar attachment mechanism 520. Therefore, if a surgeon at a master handle actuates the grippers, thegripper motor 506 turns, thus laterally moving the rod 516, and in turn thecenter cable 350 which opens and closes the grippers at the tool accordingly. Of course, the action at the tool will depend upon the type of tool disposed thereat. For example, if a stapling tool is disposed at the end of thesurgical instrument 300 then a stapling action would take place. - If a
master handle wrist motors motors corresponding gear gears section hollow tube tubes coupler 600. It is to be appreciated that each of thehollow tubas tubes - When the
tubes surgical instrument 300. More particularly, this results in the articulation of the articulable portion of thesurgical instrument 300. Additionally, whether the front loading tool driver, the back loading tool driver, or the articulable tool driver are employed, surgical instruments may be easily exchanged. - As such, a
cutting blade 800 may be exchanged for a grasper, and a grasper may be exchanged for astapler 810. Essentially, such a system simplifies the performance of minimally invasive surgical procedures where the procedures include the step of changing one tool for another. And because the system allows articulation at the tip of certain instruments, the articulation mechanism may be used to articulate such stapling, or cutting instruments that incorporate the articulable portion as disclosed hereinabove. - Additionally, the instrument may not be an articulable instrument, but the articulating mechanism can be used to control other functions, such as stapling.
FIG. 27 depicts astapling instrument 810 attached to the robotic arm assembly via thecollar 85 andholder 86. The lead that is generally use for the grasping tool, may be used to effectuate the stapling mechanism. Endoscopic staplers are generally well known in the art, however, it is heretofore to known to use a stapler that is attached to a robotic arm as is disclosed herein. - Additionally, a cutting blade, such as that depicted in
FIG. 28 may be employed in the system of the present invention. Thecutting blade 800 is attached to therobotic arm assembly 26 via thecollar 85 andholder 86. The cutting blade does not require a lead such as that required by the grasper or the stapler, however, the cutting tool, may be articulated via the articulating mechanism that has been disclosed hereinabove. - A cauterizer or coagulator may additionally be attached to the
robotic arm assembly 26 via thecollar 85 and holder. Cauterizers and coagulators are well known and the cauterizing tool may be attached at the end of an articulable instrument as disclosed hereinabove. By using a variety of tools in predetermined sequences, various procedures may be carried out. It is generally preferable to be able to change instruments because many procedures require such. - As disclosed hereinabove, the
handles handles FIGS. 34-39 depict various handle configurations. Additionally, thehandles - A proximally
open handle 962 has aproximal end 963 and adistal end 965. Thehandle 962 hasfirst finger portion 964 and asecond finger portion 966 pivotally attached at thedistal end 965 of thehandle 962. A joint 968 disposed intermediate thefinger portion handles - A distally
open handle 972 has aproximal end 973 and adistal end 975. Thehandle 972 hasfirst finger portion 974 and asecond finger portion 976 pivotally attached at theproximal end 973 of thehandle 972. A joint 978 disposed intermediate thefinger portion elongated rod 980 which is used to actuate the tool tip of an instrument attached to the robotic arm. This handle may serve as one or both of the twohandles -
Such handles interchange mechanism 984. Theinterchange mechanism 984 includes abiased detent latch 986 that engages an aperture in theelongated rod 932 such that the handle may be attached or removed from therod 932. - Other handle configurations are depicted in
FIGS. 37-39 . And more particularly, each of thehandles fingerseats 1020. The major difference between each of thehandles - While certain exemplary embodiments have been described and shown in the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that such embodiments are merely illustrative of and not restrictive on the broad invention, and that this invention not be limited to the specific constructions and arrangements shown and described, since various other modifications may occur to those ordinarily skilled in the art.
