摘要
记者们从发明人提供的背景信息中获得了以下引文:“在外科手术中使用常规外科机器人和机器人系统已经变得普遍。这种常规外科机器人和机器人系统通常与支持病人的常规外科手术台分开,并且其基部通常可与头、脚相邻定位,常规手术机器人和机器人系统的运动通常独立于常规手术台的运动,并且不与常规手术台的运动协调。传统手术机器人和机器人系统的基部通常可以相对于手术台和由手术台支撑的患者定位和重新定位在地面上,手术机器人和机器人系统的各种臂典型地可以定位和重新定位到手术台和由此支撑的患者上,并且手术台典型地可以相对于手术机器人和机器人系统定位和重新定位在组上,并且传统的手术台典型地可以调节/铰接以调节/铰接由其支撑的患者的位置。传统手术机器人S和机器人系统不控制传统手术台S的运动,反之亦然,因此,传统手术机器人和机器人系统与传统手术台之间的协调运动非常困难,因此,需要一种与手术机器人或机器人系统一起使用的手术台,该手术台可以相对于手术机器人或机器人系统相互连接以促进它们之间的协调运动。这种手术台本身可以用于在由其支撑的患者上促进常规浪涌的执行,并且还可以包括可以相对于外科机器人或机器人系统互连的外科平台端口离子,以及可以用于定位和重新定位外科平台的台车部分,以便于通过互连的外科机器人或机器人系统将外科平台相对于TO和手术互连。
Abstract
Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Use of conventional surgical robots and robotic systems durin g surgery has become common. Such conventional surgical robots and robotic syste ms are typically separate from conventional surgical tables supporting patients, and the base portions thereof are typically positionable adjacent the heads, th e feet, or the lateral sides of the patients and corresponding portions of the s urgical tables. Movement of the conventional surgical robots and robotic systems is typically independent of and not coordinated with movement of the convention al surgical tables. To illustrate, the base portions of the conventional surgica l robots and robotic systems typically can be positioned and repositioned on the ground relative to the surgical tables and the patients supported thereby, and various arms of the surgical robots and robotic systems typically can be positio ned and repositioned to the surgical tables and the patients supported thereby. And the surgical tables typically can be positioned and repositioned on the grou nd relative to the surgical robot and robotic systems, and the conventional surg ical tables typically can be adjusted/articulated to adjust/articulate the posit ions of the patients supported thereby. However, the conventional surgical robot s and robotic systems do not control movement of the conventional surgical table s, and vice versa. As such, coordinated movement between the conventional surgic al robots and robotics systems and the conventional surgical tables can be very difficult. Therefore, there is a need for a surgical table for use with a surgic al robot or robotic system that can be interconnected relative to the surgical r obot or robotic system to facilitate coordinated movement therebetween. Such a s urgical table can itself be used to facilitate performance of conventional surge ry on a patient supported thereby, and also can include a surgical platform port ion that can be interconnected relative to the surgical robot or robotic system, and a trolley portion that can be used in positioning and repositioning the sur gical platform to facilitate interconnection of the surgical platform relative t o and surgery by the interconnected surgical robot or robotic system.”
