A surgical instrument including an integrated wireless camera includes a handle assembly housing control circuitry. An elongated shaft extends from the handle assembly and includes an end effector disposed at a distal end thereof. An image sensor assembly is disposed toward the distal end of the elongated shaft and is electrically coupled to the control circuitry. The image sensor assembly is configured to convert an optical image into an electrical signal and communicate the electrical signal to the control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to process the signal and wirelessly transmit the processed signal to a wireless receiver positioned remote of the surgical instrument.
