Various surgical systems are disclosed that are configured to be able to analyze surgical trends. The surgical system may be further configured to provide recommendations and/or adjust control algorithms executed by the surgical system based on the identified trends. The identified trends can be utilized to determine baseline or recommended actions to be taken at decision points in the surgical procedure. The surgical system can be configured to be able to provide preoperative, intraoperative, or postoperative feedback to the user based on the user's decision at a decision point relative to a determined baseline or recommended action. Provided is a surgical control system communicatively connected to a backend computer system, the surgical control system comprising: an imaging system comprising a transmitter configured to emit electromagnetic radiation (EMR), wherein at least a portion of the EMR serves as a structure EMR emission, and the image sensor is configured to receive reflected EMR from the surgical site; and a control circuit coupled to the imaging system, the control circuit configured to: generate a surgical EMR from the reflected EMR received by the image sensor An image of the site, determining an ongoing surgical action based on the image, receiving a baseline surgical action associated with the surgical action from a backend computer system, and providing user recommendations based on a comparison between the surgical action and the baseline surgical action. |
