1. A surgical platform and trolley assembly and an interface of a robotic system, comprising:
the surgical platform and trolley assembly comprising:
a trolley portion including a support structure, a lifting/adjustment portion, and a carriage portion, the support structure having a first end, an opposite second end, a first end portion at the first end, a second end portion at the second end, and at least one cross member extending between the first end portion and the second end portion,
the lifting/adjustment portion having a height that can be expanded and contracted relative to the support structure between a fully-contracted position and a fully-expanded position, and the lifting/adjustment portion being supported by the support structure at and adjacent the second end thereof, and
the carriage portion including at least one of a first side portion, a second side portion, and an end portion, and a first portion of a connector attached to or received in the at least one of the first side portion, the second side portion, and the end portion, the carriage portion being supported by the lifting/adjustment portion, and being moveable upwardly relative to the support structure via expansion of the lifting/adjustment portion and downwardly relative to the support structure via contraction of the lifting/adjustment portion, and
a surgical platform portion including a first end, an opposite second end, a first end portion at the first end, a second end portion at the second end, at least a first rail and a second rail extending between the first end portion and the second end portion, a head support, a chest support, and at least a first thigh support and a second thigh support supported between the at least a first rail and a second rail, and a second portion of the connector attached to or received in at least one of the second end portion and the at least a first rail and a second rail, the surgical platform portion being supportable at and adjacent the second end thereof by the lifting/adjustment portion, and connectable relative to the carriage portion via engagement of the first and second portions of the connector, the first end portion including a primary aperture and at least one secondary aperture provided to receive portions of the interface of the robotic system; and
the interface of the robotic system comprising a tongue portion and at least one catch portion, the tongue portion being receivable in the primary aperture, and the at least one catch portion being receivable in the at least one secondary aperture to interconnect the surgical platform portion relative to the robotic system;
wherein, when the surgical platform portion is supported by and connected to the carriage portion, the trolley portion can be positioned and repositioned relative to the robotic system to position the first end portion of the surgical platform portion adjacent the interface of the robotic system so that the tongue portion is received in the primary aperture and the at least one catch portion is received in the at least one secondary aperture to interconnect the surgical platform portion relative to the robotic system; and
wherein, when the surgical platform portion is interconnected relative to the robotic system, the surgical platform portion can be disconnected from the carriage portion via disengagement of the first and second portions of the connector, and the trolley portion can be removed from adjacent the robotic system.
