Abstract

A method performed by a computing system includes determining an entry position and entry vector of an entry port in a surgical coordinate space, the entry port providing a passageway for insertion of a first medical instrument into a patient's body, wherein the determining of the entry position and entry vector occurs while the first medical instrument is external to the entry port; positioning the first medical instrument based on the entry position and the entry vector of the entry port; and advancing a distal end of the first medical instrument into the entry port.
