A system includes a uterine manipulator having a shaft. The uterine manipulator is coupled with the robotic arm. An imaging instrument is operable to provide an image of an exterior of the uterus of the patient. A console includes a display screen and is configured to provide a view from the imaging instrument of the exterior of the uterus of the patient, on the display screen. The console is further configured to provide an indicator on the view from the imaging instrument, on the display screen, the indicator indicating a location of a predefined anatomical structure, the indicator being provided as an overlay on the predefined anatomical structure.

Uterine manipulator control with presentation of critical structures

Generally, a system for use in a robotic surgical system may be used to determine an attachment state between a tool driver, sterile adapter, and surgical tool of the system. The system may include sensors used to generate attachment data corresponding to the attachment state. The attachment state may be used to control operation of the tool driver and surgical tool. In some variations, one or more of the attachment states may be visually output to an operator using one or more of the tool driver, sterile adapter, and surgical tool. In some variations, the tool driver and surgical tool may include electronic communication devices configured to be in close proximity when the surgical tool is attached to the sterile adapter and tool driver.

Signaling of sterile adapter and tool attachment for use in a robotic surgical system

A cannula sterile adapter for attachment of a cannula to a robotic surgical system, the adapter comprising: a rigid barrier portion having a cannula interface defining an opening dimensioned to receive a cannula lug, a first cannula interface structure extending from the cannula interface, and a second cannula interface structure, the first cannula interface structure and the second cannula interface structure are dimensioned to interface with alignment structures of a cannula lug; and a flexible barrier portion molded to the rigid barrier portion, the flexible barrier portion defining a cavity around the opening of the rigid barrier portion that is dimensioned to receive a cannula lug inserted therein, the cavity having a first side defined by the first cannula interface structure and a second side along which the second cannula interface structure is positioned, and wherein the second cannula interface structure is entirely surrounded by the flexible barrier portion.

Attachment mechanism for docking cannulas to surgical robotic arms

An apparatus includes a shaft including a distal shaft end. At least a portion of the shaft defines a first axis. The apparatus also includes a sleeve slidably coupled to the shaft. The sleeve includes a distal sleeve end. The apparatus further includes a colpotomy cup fixedly secured to the distal sleeve end, and a movable member extending distally from the distal shaft end. The movable member is configured to move relative to the shaft between a first state in which the movable member extends substantially along the first axis and a second state in which the movable member extends at least partially along a second axis transverse to the first axis for manipulating an anatomical structure.

Robotically controlled uterine manipulator with articulation

An apparatus for attaching a cannula to a robotic surgical system, the apparatus comprising: a clamp assembly configured to attach a cannula to a robotic surgical system, the clamp assembly comprising an actuator coupled to a clamp to transition the clamp between an open position configured to receive the cannula and a closed position to attach the cannula to the robotic surgical system; and a lock out assembly coupled to the clamp assembly to control the transition of the clamp, the lock out assembly having a hook that is dimensioned to engage a bearing coupled to the actuator when the clamp is in the open position and disengage the bearing to allow the clamp to automatically transition to the closed position.

Adjustable force and ball bearing attachment mechanism for docking cannulas to surgical robotic arms

An apparatus for attachment of a cannula to a robotic surgical system, the apparatus comprising: a clamp operable to transition between an open position configured to receive a cannula and a closed position to attach the cannula to a robotic surgical system; an actuator operable to transition the clamp between the open position and the closed position; and a linking member pivotally coupled to the camp at a first pivot point and the actuator at a second pivot point, and wherein in the closed position, the second pivot point is over center relative to the first pivot point.
