20100249694 | TROCAR FOR A SINGLE PORT SURGERY - Provided is a trocar for a single port surgery installed on a skin puncture site of a patient to provide a pathway for insertion of a plurality of surgical instruments. The trocar includes an upper part; a plurality of inserting holes configured to be positioned on the upper part, the plurality of the surgical instruments being inserted thereto; and a lower part configured to be formed in a tubular shape to connect to the upper part, the lower part being formed in an elastic material so that the lower part is bent when being inserted into the skin puncture site and is straightened after being introduced into the skin puncture site, wherein the trocar provides an open interior space in which the inserting holes are connected with one another so that changing locations of the plurality of the surgical instruments is possible after the surgical instruments are inserted into the plurality of the inserting holes. | 09-30-2010 |
20100262181 | ENDO PSI AND CABINET THEREFOR - An aspect of the invention provides a PSI (purse-string instrument) for laparoscopic surgery that includes: a first jaw; a second jaw configured to clamp a suture site in cooperation with the first jaw; a first rod, which is coupled to one end of the first jaw and configured to rotate the first jaw such that the suture site is clamped, and which is held inside a shaft; and a second rod, which is coupled to one end of the second jaw and configured to rotate the second jaw such that the second jaw faces an extending direction of the shaft. The PSI can be inserted using the incision made beforehand in the surgical site during laparoscopic surgery and thus does not require making additional cuts in the patient's body or disassembling/reassembling the instrument when inserting the instrument into the abdominal cavity. | 10-14-2010 |
20110041160 | SURGERY ROBOT SYSTEM OF SERVER AND CLIENT TYPE - A server-client type surgical robot system is disclosed. One aspect of the present invention provides a surgical robot system that includes a plurality of control clients, which generate control signals, and a surgical server, which is manipulated in correspondence with the control signals received from authenticated control clients. The server-client type surgical robot system can include a plurality of control clients for manipulating one surgical server, and incorporates security technology in server-client based robot surgery, to allow greater safety in performing surgery. | 02-17-2011 |
20110043609 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING A 3D IMAGE - Provided are an apparatus and a method for processing a three dimensional image. The apparatus for processing the three dimensional image includes a lattice pattern projection unit configured to project a reference lattice pattern onto a photographic object; a photographing unit configured to generate an image information by photographing the photographic object onto which the reference lattice pattern is projected; a depth information extraction unit configured to extract a depth information of the photographic object based on comparison between the reference lattice pattern projected onto the photographic object and a modified lattice pattern included in the image information; and a left and right eye information generation unit configured to generate a left and right eye information in correspondence with the depth information, the left and right eye information containing a three dimensional information of the photographic object. | 02-24-2011 |
20110060345 | SURGICAL ROBOT SYSTEM AND EXTERNAL FORCE MEASURING METHOD THEREOF - A surgical robot system and an external force measuring method of the surgical robot system are disclosed. The surgical robot system, which includes: a driving motor unit configured to generate and output an encoder signal corresponding to state information of a system; and a controller unit configured to receive the encoder signal as input and compute an external force applied on an instrument using an SMCSPO (sliding mode control with sliding perturbation observer) algorithm, can obtain information on the operational force of the instrument by an indirect method, making it possible to implement a technology for a realistic sensory device. | 03-10-2011 |
20110238084 | SURGICAL INSTRUMENT - A surgical instrument is discussed. The surgical instrument, which has an effector for engaging the surgical site joined to one end and a driving part for operating the effector joined to the other end, includes: a first shaft, which has one end joined with the driving part, and which extends along a first lengthwise direction; and a second shaft, which extends along a second lengthwise direction that forms a particular angle with the first shaft, and which has one end joined with the other end of the first shaft such that the second shaft is rotatable about an axis following the second lengthwise direction. Thus, it is possible to conduct surgery using several of such surgical instruments without having the instruments obstruct one another, and the surgical instrument can be made to have different usage modes according to what length it is set to. | 09-29-2011 |
20110264113 | SURGICAL INSTRUMENT - A surgical instrument is disclosed. The surgical instrument, which has an effector for engaging the surgical site joined to one end and a driving part for operating the effector joined to the other end, includes: a first shaft, which has one end joined with the driving part, and which extends along a first lengthwise direction; and a second shaft, which extends along a second lengthwise direction that forms a particular angle with the first shaft, and which has one end joined with the other end of the first shaft such that the second shaft is rotatable about an axis following the second lengthwise direction. Thus, it is possible to conduct surgery using several of such surgical instruments without having the instruments obstruct one another, and the surgical instrument can be made to have different usage modes according to what length it is set to. | 10-27-2011 |
20110264114 | SURGICAL INSTRUMENT - A surgical instrument is disclosed. The surgical instrument, which has an effector for engaging the surgical site joined to one end and a driving part for operating the effector joined to the other end, includes: a first shaft, which has one end joined with the driving part, and which extends along a first lengthwise direction; and a second shaft, which extends along a second lengthwise direction that forms a particular angle with the first shaft, and which has one end joined with the other end of the first shaft such that the second shaft is rotatable about an axis following the second lengthwise direction. Thus, it is possible to conduct surgery using several of such surgical instruments without having the instruments obstruct one another, and the surgical instrument can be made to have different usage modes according to what length it is set to. | 10-27-2011 |
20120101508 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING/COMPENSATING MOVEMENT OF SURGICAL ROBOT - A movement compensating device of a surgical robot in which a surgical operation processing unit mounted with a surgical instrument is coupled to one end of a body section includes: an image information creating unit that creates image information corresponding to an image signal supplied from a camera unit; a recognition point information analyzing unit that creates analysis information on a distance and an angle between a recognition point recognized from image information pieces corresponding to a predetermined number of image frames and a predetermined reference point; a variation analyzing unit that creates variation information in distance and angle between two analysis information pieces continuously created; and a control command creating and outputting unit that creates and outputs a control command for adjusting the position of the surgical operation processing unit so that the variation in distance and angle included in the variation information be 0 (zero). | 04-26-2012 |
