Systems, devices, and methods for performing surgical actions via externally driven driving assemblies

This is a surgical system designed to perform operations inside a patient's body. It uses a tube, called a port assembly, that goes into the patient. A surgical arm then moves through this tube, controlled by two separate mechanisms: one that rotates the arm and another that extends or retracts it. These movements can happen independently.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in miniaturized motors and AI-driven control systems. These improvements could now enable more precise, independent manipulation and dexterity for such an externally driven surgical arm.
