Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-According to news reporting originatin g from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx journalists, a patent application by the inve ntors Farritor, Shane (Lincoln, NE, US); Matsuura, Belinko (Encinitas, CA, US); Matsuura, Dave (Del Mar, CA, US); Rissler, Alexander (Sexau, DE); Shasho, Jeffre y (Brooklyn, NY, US); Simpson, Phil (Escondido, CA, US); Wood, Nathan (Lincoln, NE, US), filed on January 18, 2024, was made available online on May 9, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "Invasive surgical procedures are essential for addressing var ious medical conditions. When possible, minimally invasive procedures such as la paroscopy are preferred. "However, known minimally invasive technologies such as laparoscopy are limited in scope and complexity due in part to 1) mobility restrictions resulting from u sing rigid tools inserted through access ports, and 2) limited visual feedback. Known robotic systems such as the da Vince Surgical System (available from Intui tive Surgical, Inc., located in Sunnyvale, CA) are also restricted by the access ports, as well as having the additional disadvantages of being very large, very expensive, unavailable in most hospitals, and having limited sensory and mobili ty capabilities.
