The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “Robotic surgery is well known in the art, as is the application of robotic techniques to spinal surgery procedures such as pedi cle screw placement. Many robotic surgery systems, such as the da Vinci robotic surgery system from Intuitive Surgical, are teleoperated. Multi-arm robotic surg ical systems are available in the field, for example those provided by Cambridge Medical Robotics, but these known systems are often also teleoperated and are a ll comprised of single arms deployed separately with some level of coordination provided by a remotely-positioned control unit. Systems comprising multiple arms on multiple carts have significant drawbacks regarding integration into surgica l workflow, along with an undesirably large footprint in the operating room. Als o, in cases where these multi-arm systems do utilize a single cart, still the co ordination between the arms is done by a physician who “closes the loop” with hi s eyes and hands while he sits in the control unit. Moreover, the control of tel eoperated units by a remotely-positioned control unit does not provide the level of control required for a full range of surgical procedures, particularly in th e case of spinal surgery. Accuracy will inevitably be inferior to a system where all robotic arms are fixed to, and coordinated by, a single chassis comprising a control unit.
