  • Patent number: 11033176
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a surgical system, a surgical device, and a surgical method with which startup time can be shortened. Upon receipt of an instruction from a startup execution process, a high-speed startup driver creates a high-speed startup image and writes it to an SSD. The startup execution process is a process that is executed first after an OS is started up, and has the function of executing, in cooperation with the high-speed startup driver, startup of various processes in an endoscope program, creation of a high-speed startup image, and return from the high-speed startup image. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a surgical system provided with an imaging device including an endoscope or a microscope.
