Abstract:
A surgical instrument assembly includes a frame system, and a surgical tool engageable with the frame system. The frame system is adapted for providing a surgical tool attachment and articulation locus that is maintained during the course of a surgical procedure to direct a fixed and repeatable delivery path for introduction and manipulation of one or more surgical instruments and implants at a surgical site in or on the patient's anatomy. The delivery path can be substantially curvilinear along an arc that is defined by a radius of curvature and length defined by the surgical tool, and a predetermined range of articulation of the tool at the articulation locus.

Claim (Index 18):
A surgical instrument assembly according to  claim 17 , wherein the frame system comprises\n a fixed frame portion affixed to a patient support table, and a support bar comprising an connector for attachment to the fixed frame portion at a point that is proximate to a first end of the support bar, the support bar comprising an adjustable pivot assembly at a point on the support bar that is proximate to a second end of the support bar, wherein the spatial position of the adjustable pivot assembly is selected by adjustment of the support bar connector at its point of fixation to the fixed frame portion, the adjustment selected from any one or more of rotational and translational motion around any one of three axis that are normal to each other and that transect the support bar connector the surgical tool comprising an attachment feature for releasable fixation to one or more of the support bar and the adjustable pivot assembly wherein adjustment and locking of the support bar connector effectively fixes in space the position of the adjustable pivot assembly, and thereby fixes the point of attachment of the surgical tool.
