1. A robotic surgery system comprising:
an insertion device for a single port robotic surgery apparatus, the insertion device including:
an insertion section having:
a first camera channel extending along at least a first portion of the insertion section, the first camera channel configured to facilitate insertion and removal of a primary camera from the insertion section;
a second camera channel extending along at least a second portion of the insertion section, the second camera channel enclosing a secondary camera; and
an instrument channel extending along at least a third portion of the insertion section, the instrument channel configured to permit insertion and removal of a surgical instrument from the insertion section,
wherein the second camera channel is positioned between the first camera channel and the instrument channel; and
wherein the secondary camera is configured to provide image data of a surgical site to facilitate insertion into the surgical site of at least one of the surgical instrument or the primary camera;
wherein the image data comprises first image data captured by the secondary camera and second image data captured by the primary camera; and
a robotic surgery workstation including:
a first display configured to display image data received from at least one of the primary camera or the secondary camera; and
electronic circuitry configured to receive the image data and to control the first display to display the image data, the electronic circuitry being configured to:
