Abstract
One example method for improving the efficiency of robotic surgical procedures by integrating applications into the surgeon console user interface is presented. The method includes generating and displaying a first graphical user interface at a surgeon console associated with a robotic surgical device during a robotic surgical procedure, and detecting a combination of user actions through control devices of the surgeon console. The method further includes responsive to detecting the combination of the user actions, causing surgical tools of the robotic surgical device to be locked and generating and displaying a second graphical user interface at the surgeon console which includes user interfaces of applications and is configured to be interactive through the control devices. The method further includes detecting a user action to exit the application mode, causing the surgical tools to be unlocked, and updating and displaying the first graphical user interface at the surgeon console.
