Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. A surgical system, comprising:
a plurality of surgical instruments positioned in a surgical environment;
a surgical visualization system positioned in the surgical environment, wherein the surgical visualization system is to image a patient in the surgical environment, and wherein the surgical visualization system is configured to generate imaging data associated with the patient;
a surgical hub positioned in the surgical environment, wherein the surgical hub is operably coupled to the plurality of surgical instruments and the surgical visualization system, wherein the surgical hub comprises a control system, wherein the surgical hub comprises a processor and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to:
provide operable connectivity between components inside and outside of the surgical environment;
receive the imaging data from the surgical visualization system;
provide data analytics according to the imaging data;
provide decision making information about a surgical procedure associated with the patient based on the imaging data;
identify a cancer location within the patient based on the imaging data received from the surgical visualization system;
identify a critical structure within the patient based on the imaging data received from the surgical visualization system;
transmit a margin signal based on the identified critical structure, wherein the margin signal enables a user to avoid the identified critical structure;
measure a size of an anatomical structure of the patient based on the imaging data received from the surgical visualization system;
perform data analysis of the imaging data;
identify information about a surgical instrument of the plurality of surgical instruments;
customize an operational parameter of a surgical instrument of the plurality of surgical instruments; and
provide electrosurgical energy to electrosurgical instruments of the plurality of surgical instrument; and

a display operably coupled to the surgical hub, wherein the display is configured to display a digital representation of the critical structure on the display, and wherein the display is configured to display a resection margin around the critical structure, and wherein the resection margin is generated based on the margin signal.
