System and method for a procedure based graphical interface

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention may allow each of the surgical steps of a surgical procedure to be defined and associated with a function of the surgical console using a GUI. The defined surgical procedure can then be saved and later invoked by a user of the surgical console to conduct the surgical procedure. When the saved surgical procedure is invoked representations of the defined surgical steps are displayed to the user using a GUI so the user can conduct the surgical procedure by navigating through the representations of the surgical steps such that when a representation of a surgical step is selected the surgical console is configured according to the functionality associated with that surgical step.

主权项

1. A method for conducting a surgical procedure, comprising:
receiving, for a first surgical step, a user-associated functionality and at least one defined parameter; providing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for a surgical console, wherein the GUI comprises a representation of each of one or more surgical steps of the surgical procedure, each of the surgical steps corresponding to a function of the surgical console; detecting that a representation of the first surgical step of the one or more surgical steps has been selected; and configuring the surgical console according to the user-associated function and at least one defined parameter corresponding to the first surgical step; detecting that a representation of a second surgical step of the one or more surgical steps has been selected; and configuring the surgical console according to the function corresponding to the second surgical step; wherein a user is enabled to navigate through the GUI and interact with the surgical console so as to cause the console to be set up to conduct a multiple step surgical procedure.
