Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "Planning tools for performing medical procedures with teleoperational robotic or robot-assisted systems are often generic and not adaptable to a particular surgeon, patient, or other parameters. Additionally, planning tools may be static and non-responsive to information that may improve patient outcomes. Systems and methods are needed to assist medical personnel by providing procedure planning tools that are adapted to a variety of parameters and that evaluate implemented procedures to identify areas for improved efficiency and patient outcomes."
