ROBOTIC DEVICES AND SYSTEMS FOR PERFORMING SINGLE INCISION PROCEDURES AND NATURAL ORIFICE TRANSLUMENAL ENDOSCOPIC SURGICAL PROCEDURES, AND METHODS OF CONFIGURING ROBOTIC DEVICES AND SYSTEMS
A surgical system (200) includes a port assembly (210) and an instrument arm assembly (230). The port assembly (210) has a first end section (212) and a second end section (214). The first end section (212) includes a first end channel (212a) and a first gate assembly (212b). The second end section (214) includes a second end channel (214a), a second gate assembly (214b) and an anchor port (216). The first and second gate assemblies (212b, 214b) could make the transition between an open position to allow the access through the first and second end channels (212a, 214a), respectively, and a closed position to prevent the access. The instrument arm assembly (230) includes a shoulder section (231) securable to the anchor port, a first arm section (233) secured to the shoulder section (231), an elbow section (234) secured to the first arm section (233), a second arm section (235) secured to the elbow section (234), a wrist section (236) secured to the second arm section (235) and an end effector section (238) secured to the wrist section (236). A port assembly for use in a surgical system and a method of configuring a surgical system are also provided.Un système chirurgical (200) comprend un assemblage dorifices (210) et un assemblage de bras dinstrument (230). Lassemblage dorifices (210) comporte une première section dextrémité (212) et une seconde section dextrémité (214). La première section dextrémité (212) comprend un premier canal dextrémité (212a) et un premier assemblage de porte (212b). La seconde section dextrémité (214) comprend un second canal dextrémité (214a), un second assemblage de porte (214b) et un orifice dancrage (216). Les premier et second assemblages de porte (212b, 214b) pourraient faire la transition entre une position ouverte, pour permettre laccès à travers les premier et second canaux dextrémité (212a, 214a), respectivement, et une position fermée pour empêcher laccès. Lassemblage de bras dinstrument (230) comprend une section dépaulement (23
