- a coupling element 12 between the guide device 10 for inserting a surgical instrument 9 and the constructive device 4 for achieving the second axis of rotation.
- 3 are surgical instruments and 1 is a camera or endoscope, controlled by the surgeon by means of the telemanipulator system.
- the system comprises preferably 4 versions of a manipulator arm.
- each manipulator arm comprising at least a mounting and positioning device according to the invention.
- Each manipulator arm has the degree of freedom 3 required for realization of a pivoting motion of an instrument 9 coupled via an instrument drive unit 15 in x- and y-direction, and for a translational movement in z-direction.
- each manipulator arm comprises a first drive unit 1 , which enables a rotational movement of ⁇ 120° about the axis of rotation 3 via pivot joint 2 , starting from the zero point position.
- This rotational movement about the axis 3 results in a tilting of the coupled constructive device consisting of the elements 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 12 about an invariant point 13 , the so-called pivot point.
- the support element 4 carries a feeding drive 5 , which realizes a second rotational movement about a second pivot point 6 , orthogonally to axis of rotation 3 .
- the coupling element 12 between the support element 4 and the grommet 10 for a surgical instrument 9 is connected at the pivot point 13 with the grommet 10 in a manner such that the axis of rotation 3 extends through this pivot point 13 and the grommet 10 , being forcibly actuated around the axis of rotation 3 , implements the tilting.
- the grommet 10 implements the access for a surgical instrument 9 through the abdominal wall 14 of a patient.
- the grommet 10 serves in particular as guide device for the surgical instrument 9 and has a guide shaft 10 s that serves to guide instrument 9 and preferably is formed in one piece with grommet 10 .
- a telescopic jib 8 is arranged on the coupling guide 7 .
- the telescopic jib 8 comprises an actuating drive 81 .
- the supply and control lines for the actuating drive 81 of the telescopic jib 8 are guided along the feeding drive 5 through the support element 4 and the drive unit 1 .
- the supply and control lines for the feeding drive 5 are guided through the support element 4 and the drive unit 1 .
- An instrument drive unit 15 is rotatably arranged on the telescopic jib 8 , as shown in FIG. 2 a or 2 b .
- the instrument drive unit 15 serves for the realization of the degree of freedom 4 of an instrument 9 coupled with it.
- an instrument drive unit 15 is equipped with the respective actuating drives.
- the supply and control lines for the actuating drives of the instrument drive unit 15 are guided via the telescopic jib 8 along the feeding drive 5 through the support element 4 and the drive unit 1 .
- a tilting of the coupling element 7 leads to a tilting motion of the telescopic jib 8 attached thereto about the axis 6 and thus to a tilting of the instrument drive unit 15 and surgical instrument 9 coupled with it.
- the resulting position of the longitudinal axis of the instrument 11 corresponds to the axis between an instrument pivot point 56 of the instrument drive unit 15 on the telescopic jib 8 and the pivot point 13 .
- the surgical instrument 9 is forcibly guided along the longitudinal axis of the instrument 11 by means of the grommet 10 in a manner such that by means of the drives 1 and 5 a pivotal tilting motion of the surgical instrument 9 about the pivot point 13 is realized in axes orthogonally to each other.
- a telescopic jib 8 is arranged on the coupling guide 7 such that the surgical instrument 9 is mounted on the telescopic jib 8 by means of the instrument drive unit 15 can be moved along the longitudinal axis of the instrument 11 and through the grommet 10 and thereby be moved in relation to abdominal wall 14 .
- the entire design can be implemented in extremely compact manner.
- Surgical Instruments 9 typically have a diameter of 5 to 10 mm and a length of 250 to 300 mm.
- the embodiment according to the invention of the telescopic jib 8 is designed in a way that a surgical instrument 9 can be moved by preferably at least 250 mm along its axis of the instrument 11 in relation to the grommet 10 and that, in the case of the maximum penetration depth of the surgical instrument 9 into the grommet 10 the telescopic jib 8 is at its minimal length, i.e. extends only marginally beyond the proximal end of the surgical instrument 9 , and thus the risk of collision between different surgical instruments 9 or telescopic jibs 8 of manipulator arms arranged side-by-side resulting from the necessary pivoting motions is minimized.
- the entire design has a significantly minimized installation space, compared to prior art.
- the full construction length 16 of a manipulator arm according to the invention as measured from the drive unit 1 to the pivot point 13 is preferably less than 500 mm.
- the embodiment with the coupling element 12 for forcibly guiding the pivot point 13 at the grommet 10 allows for the use of the manipulator arm according to the invention also in case of open, non-minimally invasive operations.
- FIG. 3 a , FIG. 3 b and FIG. 4 show a manipulator arm according to the invention for active positioning of a surgical instrument 9 without mechanical coupling between the guide device 10 for insertion of a surgical instrument and the constructive device 4 for realization of the second axis of rotation.
- the tilting movements about the axes of rotation 3 and 6 produced by drive units 1 and 5 are not mechanically transferred to the pivot point 13 .
- the grommet 10 acts as floating bearing within the abdominal wall 14 , as is the case in manual laparoscopy with hand-held instruments.
- the orientation of the axis of the instrument between the pivot point 56 of the instrument drive unit 15 and the pivot point of the guide device 10 results in the abdominal wall 14 .
- the pivot point 13 in or on the abdominal wall 14 eventuates from the resulting force between torque impressed from the outside and reset or holding torque of the abdominal wall. This puts less stress on the tissue of the abdominal wall, in particular if more than one instrument 9 is used, each in its own guide device 10 , because there is no direct fixed mechanically coupled force exerted by the coupling element 12 acting on guide device 10 and thus the abdominal wall 14 .
- the telescopic jib 8 is used to move the instrument 9 through the guide device 10 along the axis of the instrument.
- the sliding motion results from moving at least 2 , preferably 3 telescope elements 8 u, 8 v, 8 w in relation to each other by means of an actuating drive 81 and actuating elements 82 , 83 , preferably formed as toothed belts.
- the Instrument 9 is mounted on the outermost telescope element 8 w in pivotable manner, by means of the instrument drive unit 15 in instrument pivot point 56 .
- the resulting axis of the instrument 11 of the instrument 9 is not identical with the longitudinal axis of the telescope 58 , due to the force transmission point 55 of the feeding device 5 on the telescopic jib. Due to the pivotable arrangement of the instrument drive unit 15 on the outmost telescopic jib 8 w and the resulting possible pivoting or compensating movement about the instrument pivot point 56 , neither the force transmission point 55 nor the pivot point 6 of the coupling element 7 have to be on the longitudinal axis of the instrument 11 .
- the pivotable arrangement of the instrument drive unit 15 about the instrument pivot point 56 makes it possible that the longitudinal axis of the instrument 11 and the longitudinal axis of the telescope 58 are variable to each other, wherein the force transmission point 55 and the instrument pivot point 56 are different and affect each other.
- FIGS. 5 a and 5 b show a top view of two different embodiments of the manipulator arm according to the invention for active positioning of a surgical instrument.
- the design can preferably be used in a “right-sided” or “left-sided” embodiment.
- the second drive unit 4 a can be to the right of the axis of rotation 3 a —right-sided embodiment—or the second drive unit 4 b can be to the left of the axis of rotation 3 a —left-sided embodiment.
- the rotation movement, which is orthogonal to the axis of rotation 3 a, 3 b is created by the drive unit 5 a, 5 b.
- the movement of the surgical instrument 9 a, 9 b along its longitudinal axis of the instrument through the grommet 10 a, 10 b is carried out by the telescopic jib 8 a, 8 b.
- the surgical instrument 9 a, 9 b itself is mechanically connected with the telescopic jib 8 a, 8 b, by means of an instrument drive unit 15 a, 15 b.
- FIG. 6 shows the use of two manipulator arms according to the invention for active positioning of a surgical instrument in the “left-handed” and “right-handed” embodiments for mutual use with a single port trocar 18 with the grommets 18 a, 18 b , 18 c.
- curved instruments 17 a, 17 b are used in combination with a left-sided manipulator arm 1 b , 4 b, 8 b and a right-sided manipulator arm 1 a , 4 a, 8 a, with the advantage that the surgical instruments 17 a , 17 b can be used through a mutual trocar 18 —which enables access through the abdominal wall 14 of the patient—and respectively separate grommets 18 a, 18 b of the mutual trocar 18 .
- the separate grommets 18 a, 18 b, and 18 c of the mutual trocar 18 are mounted in movable pivotable fashion relative to the trocar 18 by means of an elastic material 60 .
- the option of using the manipulator arm according to the invention without the mechanical coupling 12 between the support element 4 on the manipulator arm and the pivot point 13 makes the use of only one trocar 18 with at least two grommets 18 a, 18 b possible.
- a left-sided manipulator arm 1 b , 4 b, 8 b according to the invention and a right-sided manipulator arm invention 1 a , 4 a, 8 a according to the invention the danger of the manipulator arms colliding as a result from the pivotal tilting motion can be minimized.
- a relative motion 62 a, 62 b of the two instruments leads towards each other, e.g. in order to connect tissue by means of a seam stitching in the surgical area, whereas a relative motion 61 a, 61 b of the two manipulator arms outside of the patient leads away from each other. This ensures that the manipulator arms cannot collide with each other.
- crossover instruments in the single port surgical technique is known from prior art.
- present embodiment as a matter of principle holds the advantage of collision avoidance while moving the instrument tips inside the body of the patient towards or away from each other.

Description
- The present invention relates to a mounting and positioning device of a surgical instrument and a surgical robot system or telemanipulator for minimally invasive surgery and in particular laparoscopy.
- Robot systems or telemanipulators for minimally invasive surgery, particularly for laparoscopic surgery, replace the surgical instruments usually operated manually by the surgeon, e.g. surgical instruments, endoscopes, or camera, with a motorized positioning mechanism. The surgical instruments to be used are guided inside a patient's body via one or several trocars. A trocar refers to an instrument used by the surgeon in minimally invasive surgery to gain access to the patient's body cavity (usually the abdomen or thorax), whereby the port is kept open by a tube, a so-called tubus. The movement mechanics and control logic of retainers provided in the robot system enables the movement of the surgical instruments about a pivot point in 2 degrees of freedom (x, y) and a translational movement of the surgical instruments along the axis of the instrument (z). The pivot point refers to the invariant point of the motion in 2 degrees of freedom (x, y). This pivot point is ideally located at the point where the trocar penetrates the patient's abdominal wall. The control logic of a robot system must know the pivot point or the pivot point must be defined by the moving mechanism's design, to limit the surgical instrument's movement in a way that keeps the biomechanical stress acting on the tissue around the trocar at a minimum.
- Robot systems known from prior art are based on robot arms with an active movement of a surgical instrument, which on one hand require a large installation space and on the other hand, due to the typical embodiments, make it difficult to avoid collisions caused by the movements of the robot arms.
- During a minimally invasive surgical procedure a minimum of two, usually three to four surgical instruments, such as gripper, scissors, needle holder, dissector), as well as a camera or an endoscope are used, which are each inserted into the patient's body via a separate trocar. This means that there is a robot arm for each employed surgical instrument, controlling the positions of the robot arms and active moving of the instrument.
- The disadvantage of the prior art solutions lies in the fact that due to the space required by the construct the positioning of the instruments is limited and the surgical staff, e.g. the assisting doctor and the surgical nurse, has limited access to the patient.
- A further disadvantage is that the invariant point in known systems is always necessarily given by a mechanical coupling between trocar and robot arm.
- It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a manipulator arm for positioning a surgical instrument and a surgical robot system that provides high variability and requires only a small installation space or is of a smaller and lighter embodiment, and optionally allows for the mechanical coupling of the trocar with the manipulator arm or manages without this mechanical coupling of the trocar with the manipulator arm.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide a robot system that allows for a larger range of prepositioning for a support structure of a manipulator arm. This enables more flexible positioning relative to each other when two or more support structures for manipulator arms are used.
- These objects are achieved by the present invention, in accordance with the features of
claim 1, by a mounting and positioning device for a surgical instrument and/or an endoscope for minimally invasive surgery, and in particular for use within a surgical robot system, which -
- comprises a first axis of rotation, around which a support element is rotatably arranged, wherein the first axis of rotation always intersects with the longitudinal axis of at least one surgical instrument and/or an endoscope in a pivot point, as the result of a feeding drive being fixed on the support element, said feeding drive arranging an instrument drive unit in rotatable fashion around a pivot point,
- and wherein a telescopic device is provided at an instrument drive unit, which allows for the translatory movement of the surgical instrument and/or the endoscope into the body, along its longitudinal axis using a guide device in such fashion that the longitudinal axis of the surgical instrument and/or the endoscope is variably adjustable in relation to the telescopic device.
- In addition, the objects are achieved by the present invention, in accordance with the features of claim 11 by a surgical robot system with multiple robot arms, on which at least a surgical instrument and/or an endoscope for the minimally invasive surgery can be arranged, at least two mounting and positioning devices are arranged on a mounting support system that essentially runs transversely to the mounting and positioning devices, wherein the mounting support system is constructed from one coupling point for each mounting and positioning device, and wherein the coupling points are connected rigidly or via joints with each other.
- Further advantageous embodiments of the invention and the surgical robot system according to the invention arise from the subclaims analogous to the manipulator arm for active positioning of a surgical instrument. This is a result in particular of the fact that the manipulator arm for active positioning of a surgical instrument according to the invention can be combined or retrofitted with a robot system. According to the invention, the terms robot system and telemanipulator be used synonymously.
- It is advantageous if the instrument drive unit on the telescopic device is pivoted by means of an instrument pivot point so that the longitudinal axis of the telescope of the telescopic device is variable in relation to the longitudinal axis of the surgical instrument and/or the endoscope in dependence on the feeding drive.
- A further embodiment of the invention is formed and arranged in a manner such that a telescopic device comprises several telescope elements, wherein the instrument pivot point is arranged on the telescope element with the largest range of adjustment.
- In a preferred embodiment the guide device comprises at least one instrument guide, through which the shaft of the surgical instrument and/or the endoscope extends.
- It is especially advantageous that the feeding drive is arranged on the telescopic device by means of a feeding drive position point, in such fashion that the rotation of the instrument drive unit around the pivot point is the result of a coupling device comprising a coupling pivot point which is firmly connected with the support element.
- The rotation of the instrument drive unit with the instruments and/or an endoscope around the pivot point as well as the coupling pivot point allows for the essentially fixed arrangement of the support element in relation top the pivot point.
- In a preferred embodiment the mounting and positioning device is arranged in a manner such that the instrument drive unit moves the surgical instrument and/or the endoscope in several degrees of freedom, wherein the activation of the instrument drive unit is controlled by the surgeon with a control unit, by means of control and supply lines, which are guided through the support element and the feeding drive.
- The first axis of rotation is in particular formed in that a drive unit is provided that controls the surgical instrument and/or endoscope, wherein the drive unit can be mounted on a robotic arm and a pivot joint is provided between the drive unit and the support element.
- A further embodiment is arranged in a manner such that a coupling element is arranged on the support element, which is rotatably connected at the distal end at the pivot point with the instrument guide. Hereby the pivot point is mechanically predefined in relation to the support element, which allows for an additional fixing of the pivot point.
- Furthermore, the present invention can be expanded in that several surgical instruments are guided through a single trocar into the body, wherein a separate instrument drive unit is provided for each surgical instrument, and wherein in particular the surgical instruments are curved in a longitudinal direction.
- If the support element can be adjusted in its starting position by means of a prepositioning device, wherein the prepositioning device comprises one or more prepositioning elements, the position of which is adjustable in at least one axis, wherein in particular four prepositioning elements can be preset with positions that are in series and variable in relation to one another, then the mounting and positioning device can be preset to a desired position.
- The surgical robot system according to the invention may also expanded in such a manner that the mounting support system by means of a coupling support connection is connected to an essentially vertically running main support device, for support in relation to a fixed bearing, which is movably arranged or predefined in relation to a fixed or movable operating table.
- In another embodiment the invention the surgical robot system according comprises a central control unit, which is connected with each of the mounting and positioning devices with the appropriate surgical instruments and/or endoscopes and is coupled with a control panel for entering commands in the form of control data provided by a surgeon, which by means of a visualization unit provides image data from one or multiple endoscopes.
- It is furthermore advantageous that the control unit and the control panel are coupled with a movable operating table, wherein both the image data as well as the control data are processed in dependence of the given positions of the mounting and positioning device and the operating table.

FIG. 12 shows a schematic view of the use of the superordinate carrying system in a surgical robot system for use in minimally invasive surgery, like e.g. laparoscopy. - The present invention is described below in exemplary manner in detail with reference to the figures described below:
-
FIG. 1 a,FIG. 2 a,FIG. 1 b andFIG. 2 b show a manipulator arm according to the invention for active positioning of a surgical instrument, including acoupling element 12 between theguide device 10 for inserting asurgical instrument 9 and the constructive device 4 for achieving the second axis of rotation. Generally 4 surgical instruments are use during a minimally invasive, laparoscopic surgery, of which 3 are surgical instruments and 1 is a camera or endoscope, controlled by the surgeon by means of the telemanipulator system. Thus, according to the invention, the system comprises preferably 4 versions of a manipulator arm. However, it goes without saying that also embodiments with 1 to 3 or more than 4 manipulator arms in accordance with the present invention may be provided, with each manipulator arm comprising at least a mounting and positioning device according to the invention. - Each manipulator arm has the degree of
freedom 3 required for realization of a pivoting motion of aninstrument 9 coupled via aninstrument drive unit 15 in x- and y-direction, and for a translational movement in z-direction. To this end, each manipulator arm comprises afirst drive unit 1, which enables a rotational movement of ±120° about the axis ofrotation 3 viapivot joint 2, starting from the zero point position. This rotational movement about theaxis 3 results in a tilting of the coupled constructive device consisting of theelements invariant point 13, the so-called pivot point. The support element 4 carries a feeding drive 5, which realizes a second rotational movement about asecond pivot point 6, orthogonally to axis ofrotation 3. Thecoupling element 12 between the support element 4 and thegrommet 10 for asurgical instrument 9 is connected at thepivot point 13 with thegrommet 10 in a manner such that the axis ofrotation 3 extends through thispivot point 13 and thegrommet 10, being forcibly actuated around the axis ofrotation 3, implements the tilting. Thegrommet 10 implements the access for asurgical instrument 9 through theabdominal wall 14 of a patient. By means of afeeding drive 5 a force transmission to acoupling guide 7 in pivot point 55 is achieved, which realizes a rotation of thecoupling guide 7 about thepivot point 6 of at least ±60°. Thegrommet 10 serves in particular as guide device for thesurgical instrument 9 and has a guide shaft 10 s that serves to guideinstrument 9 and preferably is formed in one piece withgrommet 10. - A
telescopic jib 8 is arranged on thecoupling guide 7. Thetelescopic jib 8 comprises an actuating drive 81. The supply and control lines for the actuating drive 81 of thetelescopic jib 8 are guided along the feeding drive 5 through the support element 4 and thedrive unit 1. The supply and control lines for the feeding drive 5 are guided through the support element 4 and thedrive unit 1. - An
instrument drive unit 15 is rotatably arranged on thetelescopic jib 8, as shown inFIG. 2 a or 2 b. Theinstrument drive unit 15 serves for the realization of the degree of freedom 4 of aninstrument 9 coupled with it. For this purpose aninstrument drive unit 15 is equipped with the respective actuating drives. The supply and control lines for the actuating drives of theinstrument drive unit 15 are guided via thetelescopic jib 8 along the feeding drive 5 through the support element 4 and thedrive unit 1. - A tilting of the
coupling element 7 leads to a tilting motion of thetelescopic jib 8 attached thereto about theaxis 6 and thus to a tilting of theinstrument drive unit 15 andsurgical instrument 9 coupled with it. This leads to a tilting motion of thegrommet 10 in an orthogonal axis to the axis ofrotation 3 about the pivot point 13 (see FIG. 2 a). The resulting position of the longitudinal axis of the instrument 11 corresponds to the axis between an instrument pivot point 56 of theinstrument drive unit 15 on thetelescopic jib 8 and thepivot point 13. Thesurgical instrument 9 is forcibly guided along the longitudinal axis of the instrument 11 by means of thegrommet 10 in a manner such that by means of thedrives surgical instrument 9 about thepivot point 13 is realized in axes orthogonally to each other. Atelescopic jib 8 is arranged on thecoupling guide 7 such that thesurgical instrument 9 is mounted on thetelescopic jib 8 by means of theinstrument drive unit 15 can be moved along the longitudinal axis of the instrument 11 and through thegrommet 10 and thereby be moved in relation toabdominal wall 14. The entire design can be implemented in extremely compact manner.Surgical Instruments 9 typically have a diameter of 5 to 10 mm and a length of 250 to 300 mm. The embodiment according to the invention of thetelescopic jib 8 is designed in a way that asurgical instrument 9 can be moved by preferably at least 250 mm along its axis of the instrument 11 in relation to thegrommet 10 and that, in the case of the maximum penetration depth of thesurgical instrument 9 into thegrommet 10 thetelescopic jib 8 is at its minimal length, i.e. extends only marginally beyond the proximal end of thesurgical instrument 9, and thus the risk of collision between differentsurgical instruments 9 ortelescopic jibs 8 of manipulator arms arranged side-by-side resulting from the necessary pivoting motions is minimized. The entire design has a significantly minimized installation space, compared to prior art. Thefull construction length 16 of a manipulator arm according to the invention as measured from thedrive unit 1 to thepivot point 13 is preferably less than 500 mm. The embodiment with thecoupling element 12 for forcibly guiding thepivot point 13 at thegrommet 10 allows for the use of the manipulator arm according to the invention also in case of open, non-minimally invasive operations. -
FIG. 3 a,FIG. 3 b andFIG. 4 show a manipulator arm according to the invention for active positioning of asurgical instrument 9 without mechanical coupling between theguide device 10 for insertion of a surgical instrument and the constructive device 4 for realization of the second axis of rotation. In accordance with this embodiment the tilting movements about the axes ofrotation drive units 1 and 5 are not mechanically transferred to thepivot point 13. In this embodiment thegrommet 10 acts as floating bearing within theabdominal wall 14, as is the case in manual laparoscopy with hand-held instruments. In this embodiment the orientation of the axis of the instrument between the pivot point 56 of theinstrument drive unit 15 and the pivot point of theguide device 10 results in theabdominal wall 14. Thepivot point 13 in or on theabdominal wall 14 eventuates from the resulting force between torque impressed from the outside and reset or holding torque of the abdominal wall. This puts less stress on the tissue of the abdominal wall, in particular if more than oneinstrument 9 is used, each in itsown guide device 10, because there is no direct fixed mechanically coupled force exerted by thecoupling element 12 acting onguide device 10 and thus theabdominal wall 14. - The
telescopic jib 8 is used to move theinstrument 9 through theguide device 10 along the axis of the instrument. The sliding motion results from moving at least 2, preferably 3 telescope elements 8 u, 8 v, 8 w in relation to each other by means of an actuating drive 81 and actuating elements 82, 83, preferably formed as toothed belts. TheInstrument 9 is mounted on the outermost telescope element 8 w in pivotable manner, by means of theinstrument drive unit 15 in instrument pivot point 56. - The resulting axis of the instrument 11 of the
instrument 9 is not identical with the longitudinal axis of the telescope 58, due to the force transmission point 55 of the feeding device 5 on the telescopic jib. Due to the pivotable arrangement of theinstrument drive unit 15 on the outmost telescopic jib 8 w and the resulting possible pivoting or compensating movement about the instrument pivot point 56, neither the force transmission point 55 nor thepivot point 6 of thecoupling element 7 have to be on the longitudinal axis of the instrument 11. In particular, the pivotable arrangement of theinstrument drive unit 15 about the instrument pivot point 56 makes it possible that the longitudinal axis of the instrument 11 and the longitudinal axis of the telescope 58 are variable to each other, wherein the force transmission point 55 and the instrument pivot point 56 are different and affect each other. - Omitting the
coupling element 12 allows for guiding twosurgical instruments 9 through acommon grommet 10 by means of two manipulator arms according to the invention and represents a substantial improvement and increased flexibility in comparison to prior art. -
FIGS. 5 a and 5 b show a top view of two different embodiments of the manipulator arm according to the invention for active positioning of a surgical instrument. The design can preferably be used in a “right-sided” or “left-sided” embodiment. Starting from thefirst drive unit rotation 3 a—right-sided embodiment—or the second drive unit 4 b can be to the left of the axis ofrotation 3 a—left-sided embodiment. The rotation movement, which is orthogonal to the axis ofrotation 3 a, 3 b is created by thedrive unit grommet 10 a, 10 b is carried out by thetelescopic jib telescopic jib instrument drive unit -
FIG. 6 shows the use of two manipulator arms according to the invention for active positioning of a surgical instrument in the “left-handed” and “right-handed” embodiments for mutual use with asingle port trocar 18 with thegrommets sided manipulator arm sided manipulator arm mutual trocar 18—which enables access through theabdominal wall 14 of the patient—and respectivelyseparate grommets 18 a, 18 b of themutual trocar 18. Theseparate grommets mutual trocar 18 are mounted in movable pivotable fashion relative to thetrocar 18 by means of an elastic material 60. The option of using the manipulator arm according to the invention without themechanical coupling 12 between the support element 4 on the manipulator arm and the pivot point 13 (seeFIG. 1 a), makes the use of only onetrocar 18 with at least twogrommets 18 a, 18 b possible. Through the use of a left-sided manipulator arm manipulator arm invention - Due to the preferable use of curved instruments 17 a and 17 b in a
single port trocar 18, a relative motion 62 a, 62 b of the two instruments leads towards each other, e.g. in order to connect tissue by means of a seam stitching in the surgical area, whereas a relative motion 61 a, 61 b of the two manipulator arms outside of the patient leads away from each other. This ensures that the manipulator arms cannot collide with each other. - The use of crossover instruments in the single port surgical technique is known from prior art. In contrast, the present embodiment as a matter of principle holds the advantage of collision avoidance while moving the instrument tips inside the body of the patient towards or away from each other.
