CPC A61B 34/37 (2016.02) [G16H 40/20 (2018.01); G16H 40/40 (2018.01); G16H 40/67 (2018.01); G16H 80/00 (2018.01)] | 20 Claims |
1. A system for remotely controlling robotic surgery, the system comprising:
a plurality of surgeon-side adapters configured to be integrated with a plurality of surgeon consoles, each surgeon console being configured to control at least one surgical instrument and at least one imaging system of a patient-side robotic surgery system of a plurality of patient-side robotic surgery systems, the patient-side robotic surgery system being located remotely from the surgeon console and a surgeon-side adapter integrated with the surgeon console;
a plurality of patient-side adapters each configured to be integrated with a respective patient-side robotic surgery system; and
at least one non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
receive a request to establish a session between a surgeon console of the plurality of surgeon consoles and a patient-side robotic surgery system of the plurality of patient-side robotic surgery systems to allow a surgeon with whom the surgeon console is collocated to remotely control movement and actuation of at least one surgical instrument and at least one imaging system of the patient-side robotic surgery system and operate on a patient collocated with the patient-side robotic surgery system; and
establish the session between a surgeon-side adapter of the plurality of surgeon-side adapters, the surgeon-side adapter being integrated with the surgeon console, and a patient-side adapter of the plurality of patient-side adapters, the patient-side adapter being integrated with the patient-side robotic surgery system, in response to:
verifying that a connection has been established between a surgeon-side computing device and an audio-visual system located in an operating room where the patient-side robotic surgery system and the patient are located, the audio-visual system being configured to facilitate a two-way communication between the surgeon and one or more medical personnel in the operating room;
verifying that the surgeon console is compatible with the patient-side robotic surgery system; and
verifying that at least one network connection between the surgeon-side adapter and the patient-side adapter satisfies at least one network condition criterion.
