Patent Issued for Computer-assisted medical systems and methods (USPTO 11903664).

Intuitive Surgical Operations Inc. has been issued a patent for computer-assisted medical systems and methods. The patent describes robotic systems and computer-assisted devices used in surgery, including minimally invasive telesurgical systems that allow surgeons to operate on patients remotely. The systems use robotic instruments that can be inserted through small incisions to perform intricate surgical tasks. The patent also discusses mechanisms for holding and manipulating medical instruments, as well as software-constrained remote center of motion techniques. This information is valuable for researchers interested in computer-assisted surgery and emerging healthcare technologies. [Extracted from the article]
