Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2779339A1] The invention relates to a mapping device for robotic surgery. The inventive device is characterised in that it comprises at least one insert in order to receive at least two distinct support elements, i.e. a first support element (20) consisting of at least three marker elements (22) that are made from a visible material and are interspaced and non-aligned in an image that is made using a suitable imaging device, in addition to a second support element respectively comprising at least three energy receiving and transmitting devices that are also interspaced and non-aligned. The invention provides easy, secure and reliable mapping for robotic surgery.
