An exemplary system determines an insertion trajectory that a surgical instrument is positioned to follow when inserted into a surgical space. The system provides, for display by a display device, an image that depicts a portion of the surgical space captured by an imaging device and at least a portion of a representation of the insertion trajectory in the surgical space.

Systems and methods for facilitating insertion of a surgical instrument into a surgical space

Display screen or portion thereof with graphical user interface

A system comprises a teleoperational manipulator configured to control operation of a medical instrument in a surgical environment. The system further comprises an operator input system including an input device and a processing unit including one or more processors. The processing unit is configured to display an image of a field of view of the surgical environment and display a menu including a set of directionally arranged menu options. The processing unit is further configured to transition the input device from a first constraint state for interaction with the medical instrument to a second constraint state for interaction with the menu. In the second constraint state, the input device is constrained to move in one or more directions based on the set of directionally arranged menu options.
