Abstract:
Provided are systems and techniques for providing multiple perspectives during medical procedures. In one aspect, a method includes positioning a plurality of cannulas in a plurality of anatomical quadrants of a patient, inserting first and second surgical tools coupled to corresponding robotic arms into the respective cannulas. The method may include inserting an articulatable camera coupled to another robotic arm into another of the cannulas, where the articulatable camera is capable of showing a first view including the first surgical tool in a first anatomical quadrant and articulating to show a second view including the second surgical tool in a second anatomical quadrant. The method may further involve performing a surgical procedure in at least one of the first anatomical quadrant or the second anatomical quadrant.

Claim (Index 1):
A surgical method, comprising:\n positioning a plurality of cannulas in a plurality of anatomical quadrants of a patient, wherein a first of the plurality of cannulas is positioned in a first anatomical quadrant and a second of the plurality of cannulas is positioned in a second anatomical quadrant, wherein each of the plurality of cannulas is capable of receiving therein at least one of a surgical tool or an articulatable camera; inserting a first surgical tool coupled to a first of a plurality of robotic arms into the first of the plurality of cannulas in the first anatomical quadrant; inserting a second surgical tool coupled to a second of the plurality of robotic arms into the second of the plurality of cannulas in the second anatomical quadrant; inserting an articulatable camera coupled to a third of the plurality of robotic arms into a third of the plurality of cannulas, wherein the articulatable camera is capable of showing a first view including the first surgical tool in the first anatomical quadrant and articulating to show a second view including the second surgical tool in the second anatomical quadrant; performing a first surgical procedure in the first anatomical quadrant using at least one of the first and second surgical tools; and performing a second surgical procedure in the second anatomical quadrant using at least one of the first and second surgical tools without undocking the first and second robotic arms from the first and second cannulas.
