Abstract

A surgical device includes a plurality of cameras integrated therein. The view of each of the plurality of cameras can be integrated together. A surgical tool that includes an integrated camera may be used in conjunction with the surgical device. The image produced by the camera integrated with the surgical tool may be associated with the images generated by the plurality of cameras integrated in the surgical device. The position and orientation of the cameras and/or the surgical tool can be tracked, and the surgical tool can be rendered as at least partially transparent. A surgical device may be powered by a hydraulic system, thereby reducing electromagnetic interference with tracking devices.

Claims (20)

1 . A medical apparatus comprising:

a retractor configured to hold open an incision and thereby provide a pathway for access of surgical tools to a surgical site through a central open region formed at least in part by an inner surface of the retractor,

at least one camera at the distal end of a flexible cable comprising electrical lines and said at least one camera integrated therein, the retractor including a receiving slot on the inner surface of the retractor for insertion of the flexible cable having the at least one camera integrated therein; and

a hydraulic line configured to deliver fluid to the at least one camera.

2 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic line is configured to deliver liquid to the at least one camera.

3 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic line is configured to deliver saline to the at least one camera.

4 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic line is configured to be connected to a source of hospital fluid.

5 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic line is configured to deliver gas to the at least one camera.

6 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic line is configured to deliver liquid and gas to the at least one camera.

7 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic line is configured to deliver fluid pulses to the at least one camera.

8 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic line is configured to deliver pressurized gas to the at least one camera following one or more fluid pulses comprising liquid to the at least one camera.

9 . The medical apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the hydraulic line is configured to deliver gas pulses of the pressurized gas to the at least one camera.

10 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one camera comprises wafer-scale optics.

11 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said receiving slot is open to the interior of the surgical site such that the at least one camera and flexible cable can be inserted into the slot and the at least one camera can view the surgical site.

12 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said receiving slot comprises a dovetail.

13 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said receiving slot includes sloping surface portions that provide for dovetail attachment.

14 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said receiving slot is bounded by sloping surface portions that provide for dovetail attachment.

15 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said at least one camera is tilted downward and inward toward the pathway when on said retractor.

16 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of LED light sources at the distal end of said flexible cable to provide light to the surgical site.

17 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said retractor comprises a tubular retractor.
