An endoscope for laparoscopic surgery, including a shaft with a central axis, a proximal end, a distal end and a first optical beam path with a prism at the distal end of the shaft and having light entrance and exit surfaces, a lens with an optical axis, the lens behind the prism considered from the distal end of the shaft, and beam deflecting optics behind the lens considered from the distal end of the shaft. The light entrance surface is oriented perpendicular to the central axis, and the light exit surface forms a first angle of inclination with a first spatial axis oriented orthogonal to the central axis. To increase the numerical aperture of the lens, the optical axis is arranged perpendicular to the light exit surface of the prism. As a result, the lens has a cross-sectional area that is larger than the light entrance surface of the prism.

Abrégé

A stereo-endoscope for observation and analysis of an object, comprising a shaft with distal and proximal ends, illuminating means for illuminating the object, and stereoscopic imaging means which transfer light radiated by the object from the distal end to the proximal end. Light of a first imaging channel is fed into a first sensor, and light of a second imaging channel is fed into a second sensor. Both sensors contain mutually different beam splitters, which split the light into four light beams. One light beam from each of the sensors is deflected onto one sensor each; these two sensors are identical. The signals detected there are assembled to form a stereoscopic image. The stereo-endoscope comprises mutually different manipulating means for the other two light beams; by means of suitably-tuned image-processing algorithms, two different monoscopic images containing information complementary to each other and to the stereoscopic image are generated.

The boom (3) is connected at one of its ends to the supporting column (2) and at the other of its ends has means for coupling the manipulator arms (9) with a number of coupling devices for the manipulator arms (9) corresponding to the number of manipulator arms (9). According to the invention, depending on the position of the respective manipulator arm (9) on the boom (3), via first coupling devices with first coupling mechanisms a first portion of the number of manipulator arms (9) and via second coupling devices with second coupling mechanisms a second portion of the number of manipulator arms (9) are connected to the boom (3). The first coupling mechanism consists of a first pivot joint (5). The second coupling mechanism consists of a second pivot joint (6) and a third pivot joint (7) as well as a linkage part (8) connecting the two pivot joints (6, 7). The axes of rotation of the two pivot joints (6, 7) lie parallel to each other and are spaced apart by means of the linkage part (8). The second pivot joint (6) and the third pivot joint (7) are also arranged spaced apart from each other in the direction of the axes of rotation by means of the linkage part (8).

The invention relates to an instrument support device (3) for a manipulator (1) of a robotic surgical system, comprising a three-element arm in the form of an end piece of an open kinematic chain with a first, second, and third arm element (3.1, 3.2, 3.3), an interface for connecting the first arm element (3.1) to the manipulator (1) via an interface rotational joint (GS), a torsional joint (G3.1) which connects the first arm element (3.1) to the second arm element (3.2), a first rotational joint (G3.2) which connects the second arm element (3.2) to the third arm element (3.3), and a sliding joint (G3.3) which connects the third arm element (3.3) to an instrument mounting (3.4) for receiving a surgical instrument (4, 5, 18, 19) with an instrument longitudinal axis (I). The instrument support device (3) also comprises a controller for driving the torsional joint (G3.1), the first rotational joint (G3.2), and the sliding joint (G3.3) in order to move the arm elements (3.1, 3.2, 3.3) and the instrument mounting (3.4) relative to one another. In such an instrument support device (3), the instrument mounting (3.4) is connected to the third arm element (3.3) via a second passive rotational joint (G3.4) and can be freely rotated about the rotational axis of the instrument mounting. The rotational axes of the first and second rotational joint (G3.2, G3.4) are parallel to each other, whereby the instrument longitudinal axis (I) can be guided by a pivot point (PP) without exerting a force, said pivot point lying on the rotational axis of the torsional joint in an extension from the second arm element (3.2).

A device for robot-assisted surgery with at least one coupling unit (100) of a manipulator arm (16) comprising a first transmitting means (102). A sterile cover (38) comprising a sterile lock (200) serves to shield the manipulator arm (16) from a sterile area (39). The sterile lock (200) is connectable both to the coupling unit (100) and to the sterile unit (400). The sterile lock (200) has at least one lock flap (208, 210) which in a closed state shields the first transmitting means (102) in a sterile manner. The sterile unit (400) comprising a second transmitting means (406) has sterile flaps (402, 404) which in a closed state shield the second transmitting means (406) in a sterile manner. When connecting the sterile unit (400) to the sterile lock (200) the lock flap (208, 210) and the sterile flap (402, 404) are opened so that a direct transmission between the first transmitting means (102) and the second transmitting means (406) is possible. When separating the sterile unit (400) from the sterile lock (200) the lock flaps (208, 210) and the sterile flap (402, 404) are each automatically closed and locked so that they shield the first transmitting means (102) and the second transmitting means (406) from the sterile area (39). Further, the invention relates to a sterile lock (200) and a method for robot-assisted surgery.
