A system and method for streamlining inventory and ordering for certain surgical supplies. The method includes scanning, by an imaging device, a surgical site and receiving, by a processor communicatively coupled to the imaging device, data from the scan. The method also includes the processor analyzing the data, where the analyzing includes searching the data to identify predefined key features in the data that are parameters utilized by a Statistical Shape Model (SSM). The processor applies the SSM to generate a three dimensional replica of a predetermined portion of the surgical site. The processor also defines, based on the replica, at last one of: surgical planes or orientations. The processor then utilizes the replica and the surgical planes or orientations to select a solution.

Systems and methods for constraining a virtual reality surgical system

A method of operating a surgical control system comprises displaying an image of a surgical environment, from a field of view of an imaging instrument, on a display system. The display system is configured for mounting to a head of a user. The method also includes detecting an imaging control input from the user and responsive to the detection of the imaging control input, enabling an imaging control mode of the surgical control system. The method also includes detecting a movement of the head of the user. While the surgical control system is in the imaging control mode and responsive to the user's head movement, an image of the surgical environment from a changed field of view of the imaging instrument is displayed. The changed field of view corresponds to the detected movement of the user's head.

A robotic surgical system may be used to perform a surgical procedure. Providing guidance for the robotic surgical system includes integrating a Point of View (PoV) surgical drill with a camera to capture a PoV image of a surgical area of a subject patient; displaying an image of the surgical area, based on a viewing angle of the PoV surgical drill, thus enabling the surgeon to operate on the surgical area using the PoV surgical drill. The PoV surgical drill operates based on the surgeon's control of a guidance drill. The content of the images may change based on a change in the viewing angle of the PoV surgical drill.

Surgery system, contactless control panel for surgery system, and control method

A surgery system includes a contactless control panel, an infrared camera, a computer and a display. The contactless control panel includes control areas which are arranged in a predetermined pattern and are coated with infrared reflective material to reflect infrared radiation. The infrared camera captures an infrared image of the control areas. The computer performs image recognition on the infrared image, determines, based on the predetermined pattern stored in advance and a result of the image recognition, which one of the control areas is masked, and generates a device control signal based on a function corresponding to the one of the control areas that is determined to be masked. The display device displays images based on the device control signal.
