Surgical modular energy system with footer module
A modular surgical system for use in a surgical procedure to treat tissue is disclosed. The modular surgical system includes a footer module including a power supply, a first surgical module configured to be stacked on top of the footer module, and a second surgical module configured to be stacked on top of the first surgical module. The first surgical module is detachably couplable to the footer module to receive power from the power supply of the footer module to generate a first therapeutic energy for delivery to the tissue. The second surgical module is detachably couplable to the first surgical module to receive power from the power supply of the footer module to generate a second therapeutic energy for delivery to the tissue.

a second surgical module configured to be stacked on top of the first surgical module, wherein the second surgical module is detachably couplable to the first surgical module to receive power from the power supply of the footer module to generate a second therapeutic energy for delivery to the tissue.
2. The modular surgical system of claim 1 , wherein the footer module comprises an enclosure configured to be placed upon a work surface, and wherein the power supply is housed in the enclosure.
3. The modular surgical system of claim 1 , wherein the footer module comprises:
a base;
a column extending from the base; and
a tray detachably couplable to the first surgical module.
4. The modular surgical system of claim 1 , further comprising a segmented power backplane configured to deliver the power from the power supply to the second surgical module through the first surgical module.
5. The modular surgical system of claim 1 , wherein the first surgical module comprises an energy port couplable to a surgical instrument.
6. The modular surgical system of claim 5 , wherein the energy port is selected from a group consisting of: a monopolar energy port, a bipolar energy port, and an advanced energy port.
7. The modular surgical system of claim 6 , wherein the energy port is a first energy port, wherein the second surgical module comprises a second energy port configured to support a different energy modality than the first energy port.
8. The modular surgical system of claim 1 , further comprising a segmented communication backplane.
9. A modular surgical system, comprising:
a footer module comprising a power supply;
a first surgical module without an independent power supply, wherein the first surgical module is configured to be stacked on top of the footer module;

a segmented power backplane configured to deliver power from the power supply to the second surgical module through the first surgical module.
10. The modular surgical system of claim 9 , wherein the footer module comprises an enclosure configured to be placed upon a work surface.
11. The modular surgical system of claim 10 , wherein the power supply is housed in the enclosure.
12. The modular surgical system of claim 9 , wherein the footer module comprises:
a base;
a column extending from the base; and
a tray detachably couplable to the first surgical module.
13. The modular surgical system of claim 9 , wherein the first surgical module comprises an energy port couplable to a surgical instrument.
14. The modular surgical system of claim 13 , wherein the energy port is selected from a group consisting of: a monopolar energy port, a bipolar energy port, and an advanced energy port.
15. The modular surgical system of claim 14 , wherein the energy port is a first energy port, wherein the second surgical module comprises a second energy port configured to support a different energy modality than the first energy port.
16. The modular surgical system of claim 9 , further comprising a segmented communication backplane.
17. A modular surgical system, comprising:
a footer module, comprising:
a housing;
a power supply stored in the housing; and
a support extending from the housing;
a first surgical module without an independent power supply, wherein the first surgical module is configured to be stacked on top of the footer module;
a second surgical module without an independent power supply, wherein the second surgical module is configured to be stacked on top of the first surgical module; and
a segmented power backplane configured to deliver power from the power supply to the second surgical module through the first surgical module.
18. The modular surgical system of claim 17 , wherein the footer module comprises an enclosure configured to be placed upon a work surface.
