Abstract:
Systems and methods for performing surgical procedures. Such a system includes a cannula having a tubular body and a distal end is sized and configured to be inserted into a body cavity. The system further includes a tool passing through a first port at s proximal end of the cannula, extending through the cannula, and protruding from the distal end of the cannula through a second port. The tool has a working element on a distal end of a shaft thereof. The working element is capable of articulation relative to the shaft and rotation relative to the cannula, and the tool is adapted for translation and rotation relative to the cannula. The system further includes a control system and actuator that articulate the tip of the working element relative to the shaft of the tool.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for performing a surgical procedure within a cavity of a living body, the system comprising:\n a cannula having a tubular body with at least first and second ports located at proximal and distal ends of the cannula, the distal end being sized and configured to be inserted into the cavity; at least a first tool passing through the first port of the cannula, extending through the body of the cannula, and protruding from the distal end of the cannula through the second port, the first tool comprising a shaft and a working element on a distal end of the shaft, at least a portion of the working element being capable of articulation relative to the shaft and rotation relative to the cannula, the working element being configured to perform tasks in the cavity, the first tool being adapted for translation and rotation relative to the cannula; and a control system and actuator that articulate the tip of the working element relative to the shaft of the first tool.
