Fluid management systems for robotic stapling and cutting systems

A housing for a surgical instrument configured to engage with a robotic arm, the housing comprising:

• a first opening positioned to be engaged with at least a portion of the robotic arm;
• a second opening positioned proximate to a rod extending from within the housing;
• and
• a fluid management system positioned within the housing proximate to one of the first opening or the second opening, the fluid management system (i) being configured to hold or divert fluid within the housing and (ii) comprising:
• a fluid diverter positioned proximate to the first opening;
• and
• one or more walls forming a cavity within the housing to hold or divert the fluid, and wherein the fluid diverter comprises a channel configured to divert the fluid into the cavity.
