Abstract
A laparoscopic tool has a semicircular mid-portion with a center point and coinciding remote center of the robotic arm, to which the tool is mounted on a common axis located between straight proximal and straight distal sections. The straight proximal of the laparoscopic tool is rotatably mounted on a fixed side mount on surgical robotic arm. The robotic arm is disengaged from the surgical robot to allow manual location of the robotic arm to position the semicircular mid-portion through a percutaneous port and the center point of semi-circular mid-portion and coinciding remote center of the robotic arm, to which the tool is mounted at a target virtual insertion point on the patient's body. Visual aids are provided to assist in the positioning of the center point.
