Method of using imaging devices in surgery

A surgical hub for use with a surgical system in a surgical procedure to be performed by a clinician in an operating room, the surgical hub comprising:

• a control circuit configured to:
• communicably couple, by the control circuit, to at least one surgical device in the operating room;
• receive, by the control circuit, visualization data from a camera;
• determine, by the control circuit, potential trocar locations based on the visualization data;
• determine, by the control circuit, a critical structure based on the visualization data;
• receive, by the control circuit, user characteristics of the clinician from a database of user characteristics, wherein the database comprises user characteristics from a plurality of clinicians, wherein the received user characteristics pertain to physical characteristics and preferences of the clinician performing the surgical procedure;
• and
• recommend, by the control circuit, an optimal trocar location to insert the at least one surgical device based on at least the user characteristics and the critical structure, wherein the optimal trocar location is selected from the potential trocar locations.

• communicably couple, by the control circuit, to at least one surgical device in the operating room;
• receive, by the control circuit, data from the at least one surgical device;
• determine, by the control circuit, a type of surgical procedure being performed in the operating room based on the received data;
• receive, by the control circuit, user characteristics of the clinician from a database of user characteristics, wherein the database comprises user characteristics from a plurality of clinicians, and wherein the received user characteristics pertain to Physical characteristics and preferences of the clinician;
• and adjust, by the control circuit, a characteristic of the at least one surgical device based on the surgical procedure and the user characteristics of the clinician.
