Abstract A surgical instrument including a manipulator, a proximal joint mounted to the manipulator, a hollow elongated member mounted to the proximal joint, a distal joint mounted to the hollow elongated member, and an end effector mounted to the distal joint. The proximal joint and the distal joint may each include a base at each end with a central feature disposed between the bases. The central features may provide for articulation about two perpendicular axes, may be substantially ball-shaped, and may define guides in their surfaces to receive cables, and perpendicular slots may be provided to receive projections from the bases. Cables engage the central features to operatively couple the manipulator, proximal joint, and distal joint, and may concurrently operatively couple the manipulator and the end effector.
