Abstract
A system and method for pre-operative or intra-operative surgical procedure feedback provide a recommendation to a surgeon. A system may include a robotic surgical device to perform a portion of a surgical procedure on a patient, and a processor to determine a recommendation, based on past surgical information, for the portion of the surgical procedure performed by the robotic surgical device or for a next action to be taken, but the robotic surgical device or a surgeon. The system may include outputting the recommendation by intra-operatively providing the recommendation to a surgeon operating the robotic surgical device.

- a prediction engine and a feature determination engine, the feature determination engine to generate a set of robotic surgical procedure weights based on a correlation of each of a plurality of pre-operative deformities with each of a plurality of successful intra-operative interventions taken by the robotic surgical device, the plurality of successful intra-operative interventions determined by identifying, from among a plurality of intra-operative interventions, a subset of interventions that are associated with favorable post-operative surgical outcome data, the favorable post-operative surgical outcome data identified based on a longitudinal recovery trajectory generated from recovery data generated over a plurality of post-operative time points by a patient-associated sensor, the longitudinal recovery trajectory including objective recovery measurements that change over time;
