ELONGATE TREATMENT PROBE WITH ENCODER FOR ROBOTICS SURGERY

摘要

A surgical treatment apparatus comprises an elongate support, an elongate tube, and a movable endoscope having a stiff distal portion, in which the stiff distal portion of the endoscope is configured to move one or more components of the apparatus when the support remains substantially fixed. The support may comprise a plurality of spaced apart aspiration openings near the distal end in order to facilitate alignment with the treatment site. In many embodiments, an image guided treatment apparatus is configured for use with an imaging device. In many embodiments, a target resection profile is provided. The target resection profile and one or more tissue structures are displayed on an image, and the target resection profile displayed on the image is adjusted with user input.
