Endoscope and mounting system for a robotic surgical system
Robotics surgical systems, instrument mounts, and endoscopes are disclosed. A robotic surgical system includes a robotic arm, an instrument mount arranged at a distal end of the robotic arm, and an endoscope comprising a housing and a shaft. The housing is configured to be mounted to the instrument mount, and the shaft extends from the housing in a distal direction. A cable is connected to the housing and extends from the housing in a distal direction and along a lateral side of the housing.
1 . A robotic surgical system, comprising:
an instrument mount arrangeable at a distal end of a robotic arm;
an endoscope comprising a shaft and a housing having a distal-facing surface, wherein the housing is configured to be mounted to the instrument mount, and the shaft extends from the housing in a distal direction;
a cable connected to the housing and extending from the distal-facing surface in the distal direction and along a lateral side of the housing wherein the cable comprises an optical line and an electrical line, the optical line is configured to transmit light between the endoscope and an external illumination source, and the electrical line is configured to transmit electrical signals between the endoscope and an external processor.
2 . The robotic surgical system of claim 1 , wherein the cable is redirected 180 degrees within the housing of the endoscope.
3 . The robotic surgical system of claim 1 , wherein the cable is positioned in a groove along the lateral side of the housing.
4 . The robotic surgical system of claim 1 , wherein the endoscope comprises a manual input positioned on a side of the housing opposite the lateral side of the housing.
5 . The robotic surgical system of claim 4 , wherein the manual input is a button.
6 . The robotic surgical system of claim 1 , wherein the instrument mount comprises a carriage configured to receive the housing, wherein the carriage is actuatable to advance or retract the endoscope when the housing of the endoscope is received in the carriage.
7 . The robotic surgical system of claim 6 , wherein the instrument mount further comprises a base having a drive input configured to removably couple to a drive output of an instrument driver of the robotic arm, wherein the drive input is actuatable by the drive output to advance or retract the carriage.
8 . The robotic surgical system of claim 6 , wherein the carriage is mounted to a lead screw that is rotatable to advance or retract the carriage.
