Patent attributes
One example method for improving the efficiency of robotic surgical procedures via surgical procedure data analysis. The method includes accessing surgical procedure data of a robotic surgical procedure. The surgical procedure data contains data or events associated with the robotic surgical system during the robotic surgical procedure. The method further includes accessing a procedure setup plan for the robotic surgical procedure corresponding to the surgical procedure data and determining an idle period of the surgical procedure based on the surgical procedure data. The method also includes analyzing the surgical procedure data to detect one or more events associated with the idle period to determine a cause of the idle period, and generating a recommendation for modifying the procedure setup plan for the robotic surgical procedure based on the determined cause of the idle period.
