A surgical implement and a manipulation system including the surgical implement may include at least one instrument including at least one joint portion. The joint portion may include a first part, a second part connected to the first part, and a force applying element for applying a force for bending (or rotating) the second part. A distance between a joint point and a force application point where a force is applied may be greater than a diameter of at least one of the first part and the second part. The instrument may further include a second joint portion spaced apart from the joint portion, and a surgical tool connected to an end portion of the second joint portion. The manipulation system may include a supporting structure, at least one instrument supported by the supporting structure, and an operating device for operating the instrument.

Provided is a method of correcting a medical image according to a patient's pose variation. The method includes attaching a marker to an object, generating a first non-real-time image and a first real-time image when the object is in a first pose, generating a second real-time image when the object is in a second pose, and correcting the first non-real-time image based on shift information of the marker when the object is changed from the first pose to the second pose.

A surgical instrument includes an extension portion having a surgical tool at an end thereof, and a head portion connected to the extension portion and actuating the surgical tool. In the surgical instrument, the extension portion includes a first extension portion connected to the head portion, a second extension portion having an elbow joint portion that is bending-actuated by a rigid rod that is reciprocated in a lengthwise direction by the head portion, and a connection portion connecting the first and second extension portions at an angle.

Surgical instrument, support equipment, and surgical robot system

A surgical robot system for a single port surgery includes: a first robot arm in which a joint-type instrument is installed and providing a motion displacement to the joint-type instrument with respect to a remote center of motion (RCM); and a second robot arm pairing the first robot arm, in which a non-joint-type instrument is installed and providing a motion displacement to the non-joint-type instrument with respect to the RCM.
