Patient-side surgeon interface for a teleoperated surgical instrument
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a controller, sensed position and orientation information, the sensed position and orientation information being generated by moving a mechanically ungrounded master tool grip,wherein the sensed position and orientation information is in a body-centric reference frame associated with a person operating the mechanically ungrounded master tool grip; and
controlling, by the controller, movement of an end effector of a teleoperated slave surgical instrument based on the sensed position and orientation information.

Abstract
A patient-side surgeon interface provides enhanced capabilities in using a minimally invasive, teleoperated surgical system. The patient-side surgeon interface has components within the sterile surgical field of the surgery. The components allow a surgeon to control teleoperated slave surgical instruments from within the sterile surgical field. The patient-side surgeon interface permits a surgeon to be in the sterile surgical field adjacent a patient undergoing surgery. Controlling minimally invasive slave surgical instruments from within the sterile surgical field permits minimally invasive surgery combined with direct visualization by the surgeon. The proximity to the patient allows the surgeon to control a teleoperated slave surgical instrument in tandem with controlling manually controlled instruments such as a laparoscopic instrument. Also, the surgeon, from within the sterile surgical field, can use the patient-side surgeon interface to control at least one proxy visual in proctoring another surgeon.

2. In a surgical system including a surgeon interface, and a control system, the surgeon interface comprising a mechanically ungrounded master tool grip, a hand tracking transmitter, and a display device, a method comprising:
-
generating, by the control system, a control command based on movement of the mechanically ungrounded master tool grip, the mechanically ungrounded master tool grip in combination with the hand-tracking transmitter being configured to sense position and orientation of the mechanically ungrounded master tool grip in a body-centric reference frame associated with a person operating the mechanically ungrounded master tool grip; wherein the control system receives and uses the sensed position and orientation to generate the control command with respect to a reference frame associated with an image displayed on the display device. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5)

6. A surgical system comprising:
-
a surgeon interface comprising a mechanically ungrounded master tool grip, a hand tracking transmitter, and a display device, the mechanically ungrounded master tool grip in combination with the hand-tracking transmitter being configured to sense position and orientation information of the mechanically ungrounded master tool grip in a body-centric reference frame defined with reference to a person operating the mechanically ungrounded master tool grip; a teleoperated slave surgical instrument comprising a surgical end effector; and a control system coupled to the mechanically ungrounded master tool grip, to the hand-tracking transmitter, to the display device and to the teleoperated slave surgical instrument, the control system being configured to receive and to use the sensed position and orientation information to move the surgical end effector with respect to a reference frame associated with an image displayed on the display device. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
