Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A surgical system, comprising an articulated mechanical arm with a plurality of arm joints, first and second user-input devices for controlling the arm, and a surgical end effector at the distal end of the arm, is operated initially in a retroflexing mode with the first user-input device is active to direct flexion and rotation of only a single given arm joints, and with the second user-input device is disabled. While in the retroflexing mode, a distal portion of the arm is retroflected by flexion and rotation of the single given arm joint. With the arm retroflected, the system is transitioned to surgical-operation mode which enables the second user-input device to flex and rotate any or all of the arm joints, to move the surgical end-effector to perform one or more surgical actions.
