Abstract

A surgical system having a surgical device with an integrated user interface controllable by a hand of a surgeon, an adaptor for connecting the integrated user interface of the surgical device to a robotic arm and a control unit for remotely operating the surgical device when connected to the robotic arm.

Claims (10)

1 . A surgical system comprising:

a surgical device having an end effector and an integrated user interface controllable by a hand of a surgeon and being for operating said end effector through a drive unit attached to said integrated user interface;

an adaptor for connecting said integrated user interface of said surgical device to a robotic arm, wherein said connecting enables remote operation of said surgical device; and

a control unit for remotely operating said surgical device and said robotic arm when connected via said adaptor, wherein said control unit operates said surgical device through said drive unit attached to said integrated user interface and spatially maneuvers said surgical device via said robotic arm and further wherein said integrated user interface provides orientation information for said robotic arm when said adaptor connects said integrated user interface to said robotic arm.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein said adaptor is connectable to or integrated with said robotic arm.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein said adaptor includes a rod that fits into a slot in said integrated user interface, said slot being in a center of rotation of said integrated user interface.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein fitting said rod into said slot activates a switch for transferring control of said integrated user interface to said control unit.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein said adaptor externally connects to said integrated user interface.

6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein said adaptor is configured for attachment to said integrated user interface over a sterile drape.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein when said adaptor is connected to said surgical device said integrated user interface is mechanically locked.
