Abstract
The invention relates to a surgical device for minimally invasive surgery, comprising a shaft and a surgical module mounted to the distal end thereof. The shaft includes a tube and a pair of sliders driven by the tube via a rotary to linear linkage such that a rotation of the tube around the longitudinal axis induces a movement of the sliders along the longitudinal axis, in mutually opposite directions. The surgical device further includes wires that are each connected to a corresponding slider and to the surgical module such that a movement of the sliders, in mutually opposite directions, induces a movement of the surgical module in a first degree of freedom. The tube is also axially moveable towards the proximal end of the shaft inducing a movement of both sliders away from the surgical module, thereby inducing a movement of the surgical module in a second degree of freedom.
