Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied bythe inventors: ““The field of the present application pertains to medical devices. More particularly, the field of theinvention pertains to systems and tools for robotic-assisted endolumenal surgery.“Endoscopy is a widely-used, minimally invasive technique for both imaging and delivering therapeuticsto anatomical locations within the human body. Typically a flexible endoscope is used to deliver tools toan operative site inside the body-e.g., through small incisions or a natural orifice in the body (nasal, anal,vaginal, urinary, throat, etc.)-where a procedure is performed. Endoscopes may have imaging, lightingand steering capabilities at the distal end of a flexible shaft enabling navigation of non-linear lumens orpathways.
