Abstract:
Described herein is a surgical device configured for performing minimally invasive surgical procedures through a single incision via an introducer that allows one or more robotic main arm and two to four robotic secondary arms to be inserted into the insufflated surgical site. The main arm is capable of being inserted into and withdrawn from the insufflated surgical site autonomously, having the surgical tool at its distal end replaced autonomously, having five degrees of freedom, and having a diameter larger than that of a secondary arm. The secondary arms are capable of being inserted into and withdrawn from the insufflated surgical site autonomously and having four degrees of freedom. In the preferred embodiment the introducer is configured to allow one main arm and four secondary arms. In other embodiments the introducer allows for one or more main arms of varying diameters and one or more secondary arms of a smaller diameter.

Claim (Index 6):
The surgical device of  claim 1  further comprising a mechanism to provide vertical movement of a secondary shaft the mechanism comprising: a motor driving a friction wheel that operably engages the surface of distal portion the secondary shaft such that rotational motion by the friction wheel causes the secondary shaft to translate vertically.
