摘要:
Various exemplary systems, devices, and methods for articulating electrosurgical tools are provided. In general, a surgical tool can be configured to articulate in two planes by selectively pivoting at first and second joints of the surgical tool. The surgical tool can include a plurality of cables configured to facilitate the articulation. Each of the cables can be configured to flex or bend at the first and second joints and can be configured to be selectively actuated to cause the pivoting at the first and second joints. The surgical tool can be configured to releasably couple to a robotic surgical system configured to control a variety of movements and actions associated with the surgical tool, such as the pivoting at the first and second joints.
