Abstract

An imaging system for viewing a surgical site, the imaging system including a system controller configured to: receive and process video images of the surgical site captured by an endoscopic camera coupled to an endoscope to detect at least one video signature corresponding to at least one condition that interferes with a quality of the video images; and in response to detecting the at least one video signature corresponding to the at least one condition that interferes with the quality of the video images, control a fluid system to clean a tip of the endoscope based on at least one learned preference that was learned by the system controller from user action over time.
