Zusammenfassung:Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for robotic surgical systems including a robotic arm, the systems comprising an end effector attached to the robotic arm and retaining an access guide, and an initial access tool detachably connected to the access guide, wherein the initial access tool comprises a housing, a shaft extending from the housing coaxially through the access guide, and a distal tip attached to the shaft and protruding from a portion of the access guide distal to the end effector, wherein the housing is adapted to prevent rotation with respect to the access guide. In some embodiments, the access guide is adapted to retain an initial access tool and one or more of a burring tool, a drilling tool, or a tapping tool. In some embodiments, the initial access tool further comprises a step spaced from a distal end of the shaft, a rigid sleeve for placing over the shaft below the step, a spring for placing over the shaft below the step, and at least one detachable tip for engaging the distal end of the shaft, wherein the housing is adapted to prevent rotation with respect to the access guide.
