The present invention relates to an active positioning device for a surgical instrument arranged on a robot arm, comprising a carrier plate (), which can be connected with a robot arm (), a port mechanism (), which is arranged on carrier plate () and intended as entry point into the interior of a body, at least one guide device () for insertion of a surgical instrument () into the body, whereby the shaft of surgical () instrument extends through guide device () and whereby guide device () is variably connected to port mechanism () via a compensating element () and an adjustment device () for guide device () opposite port mechanism (), which is arranged on carrier plate () and/or port mechanism () on the one hand and guide device () on the other hand, in such a way that the shaft of surgical instrument () is movable both in x-direction and y-direction in relation to the starting position, in which the longitudinal extension of the surgical instrument runs parallel to the longitudinal extension of port mechanism ().

Active device for positioning a surgical instrument and a surgical robotic system comprising this device

The present invention concerns an endoscope for minimally invasive surgery, especially for use within a surgical robotic system, which comprises a main support device (), which basically extends over the entire length of the endoscope from the outside to the interior of the body, and which comprises at its distal end at least one illumination unit () and two imaging devices (), wherein each of the imaging devices () is basically arranged in such a way that it can be rotated to the outside on the same level as the main support device (), a trocar (), by means of which the endoscope can enter the body, and an additional support device (), which is provided at the trocar () and/or the main support device (), wherein the additional support device () comprises at its distal end an additional imaging device (), which can be rotated from the additional support device () to the outside and wherein the additional imaging device () comprises an additional illumination unit () and at least an additional image sensor (), which comprises a monitoring area, which encompasses the two monitoring areas of the imaging devices () of the main support device ().
