  • Publication number: 20230404691
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are described herein for autonomous operation of a surgical device within a predefined boundary. A discrete signal associated with clamping control (e.g., closure of a clamping jaw) may be received by the surgical device. The discrete signal may be triggered by a healthcare professional or autonomously activated. The surgical device, in response to the discrete signal and based on an algorithm, may generate a continuous signal to cause a continuous application of force or deployment of an operation. The surgical device, based at least on a measurement associated with one of tissue, inrush current, or the distance between the smart energy device and the smart grasper may determine a safety adjustment associated with the operation of the surgical device.

  • Publication number: 20230372013
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for aggregating patient, procedure, surgeon, and/or facility pre-surgical data and population and adaptation of a starting procedure plan template. Pre-surgical data may be used to populate a patient specific surgical procedure plan. A surgical system (e.g., surgical hub) may be configured to obtain patient specific pre-surgical data for a patient specific surgical procedure. The surgical system may obtain a surgical procedure template comprising surgical procedure steps. The surgical system may determine surgical task options for the surgical procedure steps, for example, based on the patient specific pre-surgical data. The surgical system may determine characterizations (e.g., predicted outcomes, risk levels, efficiency) for the surgical task options. A populated patient specific procedure plan may be generated, for example, which may include the determined surgical procedure steps and the respective characterizations.

  • Publication number: 20230372012
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are described herein for detecting failure mitigation associated with a surgical task. A device may perform a first autonomous function associated with a surgical task. Performing the first autonomous function may be associated with control feedback. The first autonomous function may be monitored by tracking one or more outputs associated with the control feedback. If the one or more outputs cross a failure threshold, the device may switch from performing the first autonomous function to performing a second autonomous function associated with the surgical task. The second autonomous function may be associated with failure mitigation feedback.
