Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods for performing robotically-assisted surgical procedures on a patient enable an image display device to provide an operator with auxiliary information related to the surgical procedure, in addition to providing an image of the surgical site itself. The systems and methods allow an operator to selectively access and reference auxiliary information on the image display device during the performance of a surgical procedure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A medical system comprising: an endoscope capturing real-time images of a surgical site; a viewer displaying the real-time images; a surgical instrument having an end effector; and a processor programmed to cause a computer generated image of the end effector to be displayed adjacent the displayed real-time images on the viewer so that a position of the displayed computer generated image of the end effector on the viewer relative to a position of an object seen…
