摘要:
The present invention teaches a robotically-assisted surgical system, method and apparatus capable of achieving access to areas of the brain both within and outside a direct line of sight. This is achieved through a relatively small skull access port that is of lesser invasion than some achieved in the prior art. A console spaced from a surgical patient is adapted to comfortably accommodate a surgeon, in a manner to achieve minimal stress during lengthy surgical procedures. Robotics interconnect the surgeon and surgical tools to be used, said tools being capable of entering and operating through a relatively small (20 mm) port in the patient's skull. Camera means comprising part of said surgical tools being interconnected to a monitor viewable by the surgeon. Means are provided which are controllable by the surgeon for gaining access to and manipulating portions of the patient's brain both within a direct line of sight and outside of said direct line of sight.
