Systems and methods for combined Femto-Phaco surgery

1. A combination Femto laser (Femto) surgical device and Phacoemulsification (Phaco) ophthalmic surgical device, comprising:

a housing, the housing comprising a Femto surgical device and a Phaco surgical device;

the housing having a plurality of articulating segments, wherein each of the segments is rotatable with respect to the housing;

wherein a first segment of the plurality of articulating segments is coupled to the Femto surgical device via an articulating arm, wherein the Femto device comprising a Femto laser head and one or more accelerometers configured to provide x, y, and z position data of the Femto laser head;

a memory device communicatively coupled to the one or more accelerometers and configured to record a use position of the Femto head as x, y, and z coordinates in three dimensional space and to transmit the use position following use of the Phaco surgical device;

wherein a second segment of the plurality of articulating segments is coupled to a tray configured to hold a set of hand pieces for use in phacoemulsification;

wherein a third segment of the plurality of articulating segments is coupled with a keyboard or keyboard tray;

a display disposed on a top portion of the housing; and

wherein the first segment and the second segment are independently rotatable about the housing.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the Femto surgical device and the Phaco surgical system interface with a controller for controlling the Femto surgical device and Phaco surgical system.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the controller permits a user to utilize both the Femto surgical device and Phaco surgical system without moving a patient.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the Femto device and tray can move and articulate with respect to one other, such that movement of a patient is not required between the Femto and Phaco procedures.

5. The device of claim 1 , wherein the Femto laser head is configured to move in a vertical X movement and horizontal Y movement or any angle to place the Femto laser head at a patient's eye or be removed from the patient's eye during surgery.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the keyboard or keyboard tray is configured to move in a vertical X movement and horizontal Y movement or any angle with or independently from the Femto laser head.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the tray is configured to hold a Phaco hand piece, a vitrectomy (VIT) hand piece, an irrigation hand piece and an aspiration hand piece.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the tray is configured to articulate along X and Y axes or at any angle, such that the tray can be placed into the surgical field at or about a patient's eye height for a Phaco surgical procedure without requiring movement of the patient.

9. The device of claim 1 , further comprising a microscope integrated into the housing that is movable along x and y axes or at any angle such that the microscope can move in or out of position for a Phaco procedure.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the microscope is coupled with the housing via a fourth articulating segment that permits rotational movement of the segment and microscope about the housing.

11. The device of claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises first and second portions, and wherein the Femto device or tray is stored about the first portion when not in use.

12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the Femto device and tray are each configured to articulate from a central column of the housing to permit articulation from a central point and allow the Femto device and tray to be placed into surgical position before, during and after surgery without requiring movement of a patient.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein articulation from the central point is circular in the horizontal.

14. The device of claim 1 , wherein the Femto device and tray is extendable and retractable relative to the housing in a vertical movement and can extend or retract and at any angle.

15. The device of claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a cylindrical shape having a central axis, and wherein each of the plurality of articulating segments are configured to articulate or rotate about the central axis.

16. The device of claim 15 , wherein the first segment has a first diameter and the second segment has a second diameter equal to the first diameter.

17. The device of claim 15 , wherein each of the plurality of articulating segments have a cylindrical shape.

18. The device of claim 1 , wherein the device is configured so that the Femto head can be returned to the x, y, and z coordinates after the use of the Phaco surgical device.

19. A combination Femto laser (Femto) surgical device and Phacoemulsification (Phaco) ophthalmic surgical device, comprising:

a housing defining a vertical axis and connected to a plurality of articulating segments, wherein each of the segments is rotatable around the vertical axis;

wherein the housing comprises the Femto surgical device, a Phaco surgical device, interfaces and a controller for controlling both the femto laser surgery device and the phacoemulsification device;

wherein a first segment of the plurality of articulating segments is coupled to the Femto surgery device via an articulating arm; wherein a second segment of the plurality of articulating segments is coupled to a tray configured to hold a set of hand pieces for use with the phacoemulsification device;

wherein a third segment of the plurality of articulating segments is coupled with a keyboard or keyboard tray;

a display disposed on a portion of the housing; and,

wherein the first segment and the second segment are independently rotatable about the vertical axis of the housing;

wherein each of the first and the second segments are rotatable around the vertical axis between a first position away from the patient and a second position adjacent to the patient;

whereby the device can be configured without repositioning the housing with respect to a patient, to perform a laser procedure or phacoemulsification procedure.
