Abstract
A patient-side apparatus of a surgical system according to an embodiment may include: manipulator arms with multi-degree of freedom, each of which includes a distal end portion provided with a tool holding part configured to hold an elongated surgical tool; an arm base to which base end portions of the manipulator arms are attached; a base; and a positioner that includes links and joints to connect the base and the arm base such that the positioner movably holds the arm base. The links include a first link that is connected to a central portion of the arm base in a longitudinal direction of the arm base with a first roll joint arranged between the first link and the arm base. The positioner holds the arm base such that a first rotation axis of the first roll joint is inclined with respect to both a vertical direction and a horizontal plane.
