The increasing use of advanced automated and computer-controlled systems and devices in surgical procedures has resulted in problems arising from the crowding of the operating room with equipment and the incompatible control and communication standards associated with each system. This lack of compatibility between systems and centralized control means that the surgeon is frequently required to interact with multiple computer interfaces in order to obtain updates and exert control over the various devices at his disposal. To reduce this complexity and provide the surgeon with more complete and precise control of the operating room systems, a unified interface and communication network has been developed. In addition to improving efficiency, this network also allows the surgeon to grant remote access to consultants and observers at other institutions, enabling experts to participate in the procedure without having to travel to the site.
手术过程中先进的自动化及计算机控制系统和设备的使用日益增加，导致手术室设备拥挤，以及各系统相关的控制和通信标准不兼容等问题。系统之间缺乏兼容性以及缺乏集中控制意味着外科医生经常需要与多个计算机接口交互，以便获取更新信息并对其可用的各种设备进行控制。为降低这种复杂性，并为外科医生提供对手术室系统更全面、精确的控制，已开发出统一接口和通信网络。除提高效率外，该网络还允许外科医生授予其他机构的会诊医生和观察员远程访问权限，使专家无需前往现场就能参与手术过程。
