1. A surgical system, comprising:
(a) a computerized surgical manipulation system having a robotic arm and a support coupled to the robotic arm;
(b) a surgical device, wherein the surgical device includes:
(i) an elongated shaft having a proximal end and a distal end; and
(ii) a control housing coupled to the proximal end of the elongated shaft, wherein the control housing is configured to attach to a motor housing having a notch, wherein the motor housing is coupled to the support; and
(c) a trocar pivotally coupled to the support such that the trocar can pivot away from axial alignment with the support,
wherein the distal end of the elongated shaft extends into the pivoted trocar,
wherein the trocar containing the surgical device is pivoted into axial alignment with the support such that the notch receives the elongated shaft of the surgical device,
wherein the control housing engages the motor housing, and
wherein the elongated shaft has a diameter portion and a reduced diameter portion, wherein the reduced diameter portion engages the notch on the motor housing.
