Abstract

A surgical manipulator includes an intracorporeal unit that is completely arrangeable within a body cavity and that includes a coupling member and an effector. An extracorporeal unit includes a manipulator to manipulate at least the effector, and a connecting unit for connecting the intracorporeal unit to the extracorporeal unit when the intracorporeal unit is arranged within the body cavity and for transferring manipulating activities from the extracorporeal unit to the intracorporeal unit.
