Surgical system for overlaying surgical instrument data onto a virtual three dimensional construct of an organ

1. A surgical system for use with a surgical instrument in a surgical procedure performed on an anatomical organ, the surgical system comprising:

at least one imaging device; and

a control circuit configured to:

identify anatomical structures relevant to the surgical procedure from visualization data from the at least one imaging device;

propose a surgical resection path for removing a portion of the anatomical organ by the surgical instrument, wherein the surgical resection path is determined based on the anatomical structures; and

adjust parameters of the surgical instrument in accordance with the surgical resection path.

2. The surgical system of claim 1 , wherein the control circuit is configured to adjust the parameters of the surgical instrument in accordance with tissue parameters along the surgical resection path.

3. The surgical system of claim 1 , wherein the surgical resection path is overlaid onto a 3D construct of at least a portion of the anatomical organ.

4. The surgical system of claim 1 , wherein the parameters of the surgical instrument are functional parameters comprising at least one of force-to-close (FTC), force-to-fire (FTF), firing speed, and closure speed parameters.

5. The surgical system of claim 1 , wherein the parameters are selected in accordance with at least one tissue thickness along the surgical resection path.

6. The surgical system of claim 1 , wherein the control circuit is further configured to overlay tissue parameters along the surgical resection path.

7. The surgical system of claim 6 , wherein the tissue parameters comprise at least one of a tissue thickness, a tissue type, and a volume outcome of the surgical resection path.

8. A surgical system for use with a surgical instrument in a surgical procedure performed on an anatomical organ, the surgical system comprising:

an imaging device; and

a control circuit configured to:

identify a critical structure associated with the surgical procedure from visualization data from the imaging device;

propose a surgical resection path for removing a portion of the anatomical organ by the surgical instrument, wherein the surgical resection path is based on the critical structure; and

adjust a parameter of the surgical instrument based on the surgical resection path.

9. The surgical system of claim 8 , wherein the control circuit is configured to adjust the parameter of the surgical instrument based on tissue parameters along the surgical resection path.

10. The surgical system of claim 8 , wherein the surgical resection path is overlaid onto a 3D construct of at least a portion of the anatomical organ.

11. The surgical system of claim 8 , wherein the parameter of the surgical instrument comprises at least one of force-to-close (FTC), force-to-fire (FTF), firing speed, and closure speed parameters.

12. The surgical system of claim 8 , wherein the parameter is selected based on a tissue thickness along the surgical resection path.

13. The surgical system of claim 8 , wherein the control circuit is further configured to overlay tissue parameter along the surgical resection path.

14. The surgical system of claim 13 , wherein the tissue parameter comprise at least one of a tissue thickness, a tissue type, and a volume outcome of the surgical resection path.

15. The surgical system of claim 8 , wherein the control circuit is further configured to:

generate a virtual 3D construct of the anatomical organ;

display the virtual 3D construct onto a display; and

overlay the surgical resection path onto the virtual 3D construct.

16. The surgical system of claim 15 , wherein the control circuit is further configured to overlay a landmark onto the virtual 3D construct based on a position of the critical structure.
