Systems and methods for visualizing navigation of a medical device with respect to a target using a live fluoroscopic view. The methods include displaying, in a screen, a three-dimensional (3D) view of a 3D model of a target from the perspective of a medical device tip. The methods also include displaying, in the screen, a live two-dimensional (2D) fluoroscopic view showing a medical device, and displaying a target mark, which corresponds to the 3D model of the target, overlaid on the live 2D fluoroscopic view. The methods may include determining whether the medical device tip is aligned with the target, displaying the target mark in a first color if the medical device tip is aligned with the target, and displaying the target mark in second color different from the first color if the medical device tip is not aligned with the target.

Examples of systems and methods described herein may utilize augmented reality devices and pointers in generating intra-operative plans and providing guidance for knee surgery. A pointer may indicate one or more anatomical points. An augmented reality device may detect positions of knee anatomical features based on a position of the pointer and positions of fiducials associated with a marker affixed to body part proximate to a knee, such as a femur or a tibia. The augmented reality device may generate a planned resection plane based on the positions of the knee anatomical features, and determine an actual resection plane based on a view of a resection guide having a marker inserted in the guide. The augmented reality device may provide guidance to position the guide to align the actual resection plane with the planned resection plane.

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for switching a control scheme to control a set of system modules and/or modular devices of a surgical hub. A surgical hub may determine a first control scheme that is configured to control a set of system modules and/or modular devices. The surgical hub may receive an input from one of the set of modules or a device located in an OR. The surgical hub may make a determination that at least one of a safety status level or an overload status level of the surgical hub is higher than its threshold value. Based on at least the received input and the determination, the surgical hub may determine a second control scheme to be used to control the set of system modules. The surgical hub may send a control program indicating the second control scheme to one or more system modules and/or modular devices.

Computer-implemented methods for modeling a surgical correction for a patient, and associated systems are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the method includes obtaining patient data. The image data can depict a native anatomical configuration of a region of a patient's spine. The method also includes generating a virtual model of the patient's spine in the native anatomical configuration and/or a corrected anatomical configuration. The method can also include identifying one or more soft tissue surgical steps, predicting an effect of the soft tissue surgical steps, and generating a surgical plan for achieving the corrected anatomical configuration. The soft tissue surgical step can adjust an intraoperative mobility of vertebrae of the spine to achieve the corrected anatomical configuration. The surgical plan includes at least one of the soft tissue surgical steps to help facilitate movement of the vertebrae to the corrected anatomical configuration.

Techniques for segmenting a percutaneous medical procedure based on one or more determinable phases. The techniques may include obtaining a first set of features over a first time period. The first set of features may be derived from instrument telemetry data corresponding to an endoluminal scope instrument. The technique may also include obtaining a second set of features over the first time period. The second set of features may be derived from instrument telemetry data corresponding to a percutaneous needle instrument. Based on the first set of features and the second set of features, the techniques may classify at least a portion of the first time period as a first phase of the percutaneous medical procedure.

A surgical instrument assembly may include a processor, a surgical instrument configured to operate on an anatomical structure, and a display coupled to the processor and attached to the surgical instrument. The processor can be configured to determine a position of the medical imaging device, from which the medical imaging device can generate an X-ray image that includes holes of an intramedullary nail shown as circles, for instance perfect circles. In an example, the processor identifies the intramedullary nail, so as to determine an intramedullary nail identity, and determines the position of the medical imaging device based on a portion of at least two locking holes of the intramedullary nail and based on the intramedullary nail identity.

A surgical instrument comprising a shaft, an end effector, a housing, a drive assembly, and a manually-driven actuator is disclosed. The end effector comprises a first jaw and a second jaw rotatable relative to the first jaw between an open position and a clamped position. The housing comprises a rotary input movable by a motor. The drive assembly is operably engaged with the rotary input. The drive assembly is movable by the motor in a motorized mode of operation to transition the second jaw toward the clamped position. The drive assembly is movable in a non-motorized mode of operation by the manually-driven actuator to permit a transition of the second jaw toward the open position to release tissue between the first jaw and the second jaw.

Graphical user guidance for a robotic surgical system is provided. In one embodiment, a graphical user interface for a robotic surgical system comprises a first region and a second region. The first region is used to display an endoscopic view of a surgical site inside a patient taken by an endoscopic camera of the robotic surgical system, and the second region is used to display user feedback information. The graphical user interface overlays a guidance message on top of the endoscopic view of the surgical site in the first region to provide user instructions for interacting with a user input device to engage a robotic arm of the robotic surgical system. Other embodiments are provided.

A surgical retractor includes a part defining a longitudinal axis. A first radiolucent blade is connected with the part. A second radiolucent blade is connected with the part. The blades are independently translatable relative to the part. At least one of the blades includes spaced apart arms that are connected via a member. The member and the arms are relatively disposed in a configuration to guide at least one surgical instrument in a selected orientation relative to a surgical site. Surgical systems, instruments, constructs, implants and methods are disclosed.

A method for surgically treating a spine comprising the steps of: pre-operatively imaging vertebral tissue; displaying a first image of a surgical treatment configuration for the vertebral tissue from a mixed reality display and/or a second image of a surgical strategy for implementing the surgical treatment configuration with the vertebral tissue from the mixed reality display; determining a surgical plan for implementing the surgical strategy; and intra-operatively displaying a third image of the surgical plan with the vertebral tissue from the mixed reality display. Systems, spinal constructs, implants and surgical instruments are disclosed.
