Abstract

A method for utilizing robotic surgical data for providing surgical training is disclosed. The method includes collecting, by a computing device, data related to a surgical procedure from one or more components of a computer-assisted surgical system. At least one of the one or more components is a robotically controlled surgical device. A graphical depiction representative of the surgical procedure is generated based on the collected data from the one or more components of the computer-assisted surgical system and one or more images providing a visual depiction of a patient's anatomy. A graphical user interface is output to a display device. The graphical user interface includes the graphical depiction of the surgical procedure and the collected data from the one or more components of the computer-assisted surgical system, to provide surgical training.

Claims (45)

1. A method for utilizing robotic surgical data for a long-term episode of care, the method comprising:

robotically controlling, by a computing device, a robotically controlled surgical device;

collecting, by the computing device, data related to a surgical episode of care for a patient comprising pre-operative data, intraoperative data, and post-operative data, wherein the intraoperative data is collected from one or more components of a computer-assisted surgical system, wherein at least one of the one or more components is the robotically controlled surgical device;

performing, by the computing device, an analysis of the data related to the surgical episode of care to evaluate one or more aspects of the surgical episode of care, wherein the analysis comprises:

identifying, by the computing device, one or more complications of the surgical episode of care based on the post-operative data;

performing, by the computing device, a regression analysis based on the post-operative data and the intraoperative data collected from the robotically controlled surgical device; and

determining, by the computing device, a portion of the intraoperative data related to the one or more complications;

generating, by the computing device, a graphical depiction representative of the one or more aspects of the surgical episode of care based on the performed analysis; and

outputting, by the computing device, a graphical user interface to a display device, the graphical user interface comprising the graphical depiction of the one or more aspects of the surgical episode of care.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the analysis comprises:

obtaining, by the computing device, a surgical plan for the surgical episode of care generated by the computer-assisted surgical system based on the pre-operative data;

determining, by the computing device, deviations from the surgical plan based on the intraoperative data collected from the one or more components of the computer-assisted surgical system; and

identifying, by the computing device, the deviations from the surgical plan on the graphical user interface output to the display device.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

collecting, by the computing device, data related to a plurality of surgical episodes of care for a plurality of patients;

identifying, by the computing device, one or more patterns from data related to the plurality of surgical episodes of care; and

generating, by the computing device, a surgical episode of care training model based on the identified patterns.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating, by the computing device, a surgical plan based on the collected data related to the surgical episode of care.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating, by the computing device, an implant design based on the collected data related to the surgical episode of care.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the surgical episode of care comprises a knee arthroplasty.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pre-operative data comprises one or more of patient demographic data, patient diagnosis data, medical history data, images of the patient's anatomical area of interest, and quality of life data.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the intraoperative data comprises position or orientation data for a robotic arm utilized in the surgical episode of care.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the post-operative data comprises one or more of functional status data or post-operative quality of life data collected from the patient.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the post-operative data comprises biometric data collected from a wearable device configured to collect data related to the surgical episode of care or from one or more videos capturing patient motion.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the robotically controlled surgical device comprises a resection device; and

wherein the collected data comprises information associated with a resection.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the collected data comprises one or more of measured torque and a measured displacement for the resection device.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the collected data comprises an audio signature for the resection device.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical depiction comprises one or more images collected pre-operatively or intraoperatively to provide various views of the patient's anatomy.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical depiction is based on a three-dimensional model of the patient's anatomy.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical user interface is configured to allow a user to selectively view the collected data relating to the surgical episode of care.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the collected data is organized into selectable modules, wherein the modules are selectable based on one or more aspects of the surgical episode of care.

18. A surgical computing device comprising a memory comprising programmed instructions stored thereon for utilizing robotic surgical data for a long-term episode of care and one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to execute the stored programmed instructions to:

robotically control a robotically controlled surgical device;

collect data related to a surgical episode of care for a patient comprising pre-operative data, intraoperative data, and post-operative data, wherein the intraoperative data is collected from one or more components of a computer-assisted surgical system, wherein at least one of the one or more components is the robotically controlled surgical device;

perform an analysis of the data related to the surgical episode of care to evaluate one or more aspects of the surgical episode of care, wherein the analysis comprises:

identifying one or more complications of the surgical episode of care based on the post-operative data;

performing a regression analysis based on the post-operative data and the intraoperative data collected from the robotically controlled surgical device; and

determining a portion of the intraoperative data related to the one or more complications based on the regression analysis;

generate a graphical depiction representative of the one or more aspects of the surgical episode of care based on the performed analysis; and

output a graphical user interface to a display device, the graphical user interface comprising the graphical depiction of the one or more aspects of the surgical episode of care.

19. The device of claim 18 , wherein the memory comprises additional programmed instructions stored thereon to:

generate a surgical plan based on the collected data related to the surgical episode of care.
