Digital image analysis for robotic installation of surgical implants

A computer system comprising:

• one or more computer processors;
• and
• a non-transitory-computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions, which when executed by the one or more computer processors cause the computer system to:
• generate an extended reality (XR) surgical simulation environment that includes a digital anatomical model and a three-dimensional (3D) virtual implant model of a surgical implant;
• identify at least one incision site and an implant site on the digital anatomical model in the XR surgical simulation environment;
• simulate delivery of virtual components of the virtual implant model using a virtual surgical robot under control of a user, wherein the delivery of virtual components of the 3D virtual implant model are delivered, via the virtual surgical robot, along corresponding ones of multiple delivery paths in the digital anatomical model for delivery to the implant site in the digital anatomical model within the XR surgical simulation environment;
• select a set of the multiple delivery paths for delivery of physical components of the surgical implant based on a simulated outcome score for the set of the multiple delivery paths being above a threshold;
• and
• robotically deliver, using a surgical robot, the physical components of the surgical implant using the set of the multiple delivery paths;
• and
• robotically assemble the surgical implant using the physical components positioned in a patient.
