    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detecting failure in clamping of a material and/or firing of a staple into a clamped material and indicating such failure to a user on a user interface. The system and methods are particularly suited for use with end effectors having closing and/or firing mechanisms coupled to an actuator. By monitoring a driving parameter of an actuator that effects the clamping and/or firing, the systems and methods provide an indication of failure in response to the monitored drive parameter. In some embodiments, an indication of failure is output when the monitored drive parameter is outside an acceptable range of desired driving parameters during clamping and/or firing. The disclosed systems and methods are particularly beneficial when used for minimally invasive surgery.

    Abstract: A surgical stapler system may include a surgical instrument comprising an end effector configured to receive a removable staple cartridge, and an actuation mechanism operably coupled to actuate the end effector to perform a stapling procedure. The surgical stapler system also may include a drive system operably coupled to transmit an actuation force to the actuation mechanism and a controller operably coupled to the drive system. The controller may be configured to measure an actuation force transmitted by the drive system to the actuation mechanism, and control continued transmission of the actuation force based on a comparison of the measured actuation force to a range defined from a minimum threshold actuation force to a maximum threshold actuation force.
