The teams performed their standard clinical practice of confirming that nothing blocks the entry/exit of instruments through the port at beginning of case.Because the system is designed to guide instruments in and out along a defined pathway, unless the arm’s trajectory has changed, the user may not find it necessary to visualize instrument insertion or removal throughout the remainder of the procedureSeveral participants were observed controlling their instrument via the hand controllers at the surgeon console while the instrument was outside of the endoscope view.
