1. A surgical system for performing a surgical procedure on a patient, comprising:
- a manipulator performing the surgical procedure on the patient;
internal image capturing means capturing an internal image of the patient;
display means simultaneously displaying a plurality of items of information including said internal image captured by said internal image capturing means;
information processing means transmitting said plurality of items of information to said display means and processing said plurality of items of information to be displayed by said display means;
a medical robot system includinga robot arm for moving said manipulator, said manipulator being mounted on said robot arm, said manipulator being operable by a driving source while being mounted on said robot arm,operating means for operating said manipulator and said robot arm, andoperation control means controlling operation of said manipulator and said robot arm based on an input signal from said operating means; and
a data server storing an affected-region image of an affected region of the patient and coordinate information about said affected-region image recorded in advance prior to performing the surgical procedure,wherein information about said internal image is transmitted from said internal image capturing means to said information processing means,wherein said affected-region image and said coordinate information about said affected-region image are transmitted from said data server to said information processing means,wherein said operation control means reads said coordinate information about said affected-region image stored in said data server, said coordinate information including positional coordinates of said affected region and positional coordinates of a plurality of markers in said affected-region image according to a diagnostic image coordinate system, and converting the positional coordinates of said affected region and of said markers into data according to a robot coordinate system of said robot arm to guide movement of said manipulator to said affected region based on said positional coordinates of said affected region and said positional coordinates of the markers,wherein said information processing means or said operation control means processes positional information of said affected region based on said positional coordinates of the affected region and said positional coordinates of said markers in correlation to the information about said internal image, andwherein said display means simultaneously displays said affected-region image, said internal image, and said positional information of said affected region in superposed relation to said internal image.

Abstract
A surgical system performs a surgical procedure on a patient with manipulators and an endoscope. The surgical system has a display unit for simultaneously displaying a plurality of items of information including an endoscopic image captured by the endoscope, and a wireless image processor for transmitting information to the display unit and processing the plurality of items of information to be displayed by the display unit. The information about the endoscopic image is transmitted from the endoscope to the wireless image processor through a link including at least a portion based on wireless communications.
