By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – According to news reporting originatin g from Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx journalists, a patent by the inventors Fi ebig, Kevin M. (Cincinnati, OH, US), Hensel, Adam D. (Cincinnati, OH, US), Shelt on, IV, Frederick E. (Hillsboro, OH, US), filed on August 16, 2021, was publishe d online on May 21, 2024. The assignee for this patent, patent number 11986182, is Cilag GmbH Internationa l (Zug, Switzerland). 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 and procedures conducted by a medical pr ofessional operator, as well as applications in robotically assisted surgeries. Such surgical instruments may be directly gripped and manipulated by a surgeon o r incorporated into robotically surgical systems. In the case of robotically ass isted surgery, the surgeon may operate a master controller to remotely control t he motion of such surgical instruments at a surgical site. The controller 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 controller may be positioned quite near the patient in th e operating room. Regardless, the controller may include one or more hand input devices (such as joysticks, exoskeletal gloves, master manipulators, or the like ), which are coupled by a servo mechanism to the surgical instrument. In one exa mple, a servo motor moves a manipulator supporting the surgical instrument based on the surgeon’s manipulation of the hand input devices. During the surgery, th e surgeon may employ, via a robotic surgical system, a variety of surgical instr uments including an ultrasonic blade, a surgical stapler, a tissue grasper, a ne edle driver, an electrosurgical cautery probe, etc. Each of these structures per forms functions for the surgeon, for example, cutting tissue, coagulating tissue , holding or driving a needle, grasping a blood vessel, dissecting tissue, or ca uterizing tissue.
