A method of adjusting a staple parameter of a surgical stapling instrument is disclosed. The method includes determining, by a control circuit of the surgical stapling instrument, a first stroke length for a first staple driver of the surgical stapling instrument to drive a first row of staples of a circular stapling head assembly of the surgical stapling instrument; detecting, by the control circuit, a malformed staple in the first row of staples; adjusting, by the control circuit, the staple parameter, based on the detection of the malformed staple; and determining, by the control circuit, a second stroke length for a second staple driver of the surgical stapling instrument to drive a second row of staples of the circular stapling head assembly.

A method of compressing tissue during a surgical procedure is disclosed. The method comprises obtaining a surgical instrument comprising an end effector, wherein the end effector comprises a first jaw and a second jaw, establishing a communication pathway between the surgical instrument and a surgical hub, and inserting the surgical instrument into a surgical site. The method further comprises compressing tissue between the first jaw and the second jaw, determining a location of the compressed tissue with respect to at least one of the first jaw and the second jaw, communicating the determined location of the compressed tissue to the surgical hub, and displaying the determined location of the compressed tissue on a visual feedback device.

Various surgical systems are disclosed. A surgical system can include a surgical robot and a surgical hub. The surgical robot can include a control unit in signal communication with a control console and a robotic tool. The surgical hub can include a display. The surgical hub can be in signal communication with the control unit. A facility can include a plurality of surgical hubs that communicate data from the surgical robots to a primary server. To alleviate bandwidth competition among the surgical hubs, the surgical hubs can include prioritization protocols for collecting, storing, and/or communicating data to the primary server.

The disclosure provides example methods and non-transitory computer-readable mediums for acetabular cup placement. An example method includes a processor (a) determining for a first patient a sagittal acetabular cup position in the form of a standing AI, a seated AI and a SAA based on (i) a standing SS relative to a normative SS, (ii) a dSS between a standing position and an upright seated position, (iii) a femoral version corresponding to a femoral version outlier position, and (iv) a PFA to correspond to a PFA outlier position in a standing position or an upright seated position, (b) determining a coronal acetabular cup position in the form of a supine coronal anteversion and at least one of a supine or a standing coronal inclination based on the sagittal acetabular cup position, and (c) determining a post-operative standing AI and a post-operative seated AI based on the coronal acetabular cup position.

This application provides a robotic arm and a control method therefor. The robotic arm comprises a spatial positioning mechanism, a planar motion mechanism and a connection and rotation joint connecting the spatial positioning mechanism and the planar motion mechanism. The space positioning mechanism comprises a base, and a joint mechanism, the joint including multiple joints, with the joint at a head end thereof installed onto the base, and the joint at a tail end rotatably connected to the connection and rotation joint; a tail end of the planar motion mechanism is connected to a surgical instrument, Perpendicular line of a plane where the planar motion mechanism is located is perpendicular to rotation axis of the connection and rotation joint; and the intersection between the rotation axis and axis of the surgical instrument is an active remote-center-of-motion point, which facilitates setting of the active remote-center-of-motion point and reduces occurrence of multi-arm collision.

The present disclosure provides a positioning tool, a robotic arm system, and a surgical system. The positioning tool includes a body, a registration tip, and a trackable element. The body is used to connect with a terminal of a robotic arm at one end and connect to the registration tip at the other end. The registration tip is used to abut a predetermined position. The trackable element is to be disposed on the body, the registration tip or the robotic arm and is used to communicate with a navigation device. The positioning tool provided in present disclosure is an integrated registration tool, which is able to be used to accomplish registrations for both the robotic arm and the object without replacements of the registration tool during the entire registration process, thereby simplifing the operation and shortening the operation time.

A motor assembly and method of operating the motor assembly include a motor, a memory to store calibrated parameters of the motor, and electronics coupled to the memory and the motor. The electronics are configured to retrieve the calibrated parameters from the memory, provide the calibrated parameters to an external system, and receive control signals for driving the motor from the external system. The control signals are based on the calibrated parameters. The calibrated parameters include a motor speed versus no-load current relationship for the motor determined by a procedure that includes performing an initial calibration of the motor, wearing in the motor after performing the initial calibration, performing a final calibration of the motor after wearing in the motor, and storing the calibrated parameters in the memory based on the initial calibration and the final calibration.

A method includes receiving one or more signals indicative of a position of a distal-end assembly of a medical probe within an organ of a patient. Based on the received signals, an inner volume that is confined within the distal-end assembly is determined. An anatomical map of the organ is updated, to denote the inner volume of the distal-end assembly as belonging to an interior of the organ.
