Abstract

A surgical system comprises a manipulator arm and a surgical instrument. The surgical instrument includes: a transmission mechanism including a plurality of interface members; and an elongate body extending from the transmission mechanism. The surgical system further includes an instrument mounting structure mounted to the manipulator arm. The transmission mechanism of the surgical instrument is removably couplable to the instrument mounting structure. The instrument mounting structure includes a plurality of actuator members and a passage defined within the instrument mounting structure. When the surgical instrument is coupled to the instrument mounting structure: the plurality of interface members mate with the plurality of actuator members; and the elongate body of the surgical instrument extends between at least some of the plurality of actuator members and through the passage.
