Abstract: A method for controlling a surgical scope includes receiving an image feed including a plurality of images from the surgical scope. One or more features or characteristics of the plurality of images are then detected. In response to the one or more features or characteristics, an operating state of the surgical scope is identified in a deployed state wherein the scope is within a patient cavity and alternatively in an undeployed state wherein the scope is outside the patient cavity.

Abstract: A surgical control system in communication with a plurality of surgical devices includes a surgical pump configured to control a flow of surgical fluid to an operating site. A camera apparatus of the plurality of surgical devices is configured to capture image data depicting a surgical site. A system controller is configured to capture image data demonstrating the surgical site, identify a visibility metric of the image data, and determine a control setting for the surgical pump in response to visibility metric below a visibility threshold.

Abstract: A surgical control system is in communication with a plurality of surgical devices. In operation, the surgical devices broadcast device data including messages indicative of at least one of a control state and a detected condition associated with the operation of each of the plurality of surgical devices via a communication bus in communication with a plurality of device controllers of the plurality of surgical devices. Image data is captured demonstrating a surgical site and a surgery status is identified in response to the image data. Aggregate data is generated, including the surgery status and the device data, in a packet. The aggregate data is communicated over the communication bus.
