Novel Robotic Surgical System for Minimally Invasive Surgery

The K2 Robotic Surgical System is a software-controlled, electro-mechanical system designed for surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgery in the thorax and abdomen. The K2 Robotic Surgical System consists of a Surgeon Console \[SGC\], a Patient Side Robot \[PSR\], and a Vision Cart \[VCT\], and is used with an endoscope, Surgical Instruments \[SGI\], and Accessories \[ACC\]. The surgeon views the three-dimensional endoscopic image on a High-Resolution Stereo Viewer (3D Viewer), which provides a view of the abdominal cavity and surgical instrumentation, along with icons and other user interface features.
