Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“A variety of surgical instruments include an end effector for use in conventional medical treatments andprocedures conducted by a medical pr ofessional operator, as well as applications in robotically assistedsurgeries. Such surgical instruments may be directly gripped and manipulated by a surgeon o r incorporatedinto robotically assisted surgery. In the case of robotically ass isted surgery, the surgeon may operate amaster controller to remotely control t he motion of such surgical instruments at a surgical site. Thecontroller may be separated from the patient by a significant distance (e.g., across the operatin g room,in a different room, or in a completely different building than the pati ent). Alternatively, a controllermay be positioned quite near the patient in th e operating room. Regardless, the controller may includeone or more hand input devices (such as joysticks, exoskeletol gloves, master manipulators, or the like ),which are coupled by a servo mechanism to the surgical instrument. In one exa mple, a servo motor movesa manipulator supporting the surgical instrument based on the surgeon’s manipulation of the hand inputdevices. During the surgery, th e surgeon may employ, via a robotic surgical system, a variety of surgicalinstr uments including an ultrasonic blade, a tissue grasper, a needle driver, an elec trosurgical cauteryprobes, etc. Each of these structures performs functions for the surgeon, for example, cutting tissue,coagulating tissue, holding or drivin g a needle, grasping a blood vessel, dissecting tissue, or cauterizingtissue.
