Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 7:
8. A medical system, comprising:
a storage device configured to store a pre-operative plan for a spinal surgical procedure to be performed on a patient, the plan including a desired position of the patient relative to a surgeon; and
a processor configured to
determine a position of the patient during setup for actual performance of the spinal surgical procedure on the patient,
compare the determined position and the desired position to determine if a deviance exists between the determined position and the desired position, and
provide user feedback in real time with the setup that is indicative of the deviation between the determined position and the desired position, the feedback including at least one of a visual signal, an auditory signal, and a motion signal;

wherein the patient is on a bed;
the processor configured to, upon determining a deviance between the determined position and the desired position, cause the bed to move so as to position the patient in the desired position;
the desired position aligns a vertebra of the patient for a trajectory of lateral approach;
the processor is configured to, in real time with the actual performance of the spinal surgical procedure on the patient and after the bed has been caused to move:
receive a user input indicative of surgeon desiring the patient to be in a second desired position;
cause the bed to move so as to position the patient in the second desired position; and

the second desired position aligns a second vertebra of the patient for a trajectory of posterior approach.
