receiving procedure type data describing a surgical procedure to be performed;

receiving first image data corresponding to preoperative imaging of a surgical location, the surgical location based on the procedure type data;

receiving second image data from a camera connected to a robotic arm of a robotic surgical system;

receiving kinematic data describing a position and orientation of the robotic arm in relation to the surgical location;

generating a feature model of the surgical location based on the image data and the kinematic data;

generating an image-mapped feature model by mapping the first image data onto the feature model;

determining a sequence of procedure steps based on the procedure type data and the image-mapped feature model;

determining a current status of the surgical procedure based on the image-mapped feature model and current kinematic data using a pattern recognition algorithm, wherein the image-mapped feature model represents a first portion of anatomy yet to be removed and a second portion of anatomy that has already been removed; and

providing, for display at a display device, (i) the sequence of procedure steps, and (ii) the current status of the surgical procedure, using the image-mapped feature model, by showing a first representation of the first portion of anatomy yet to be removed and a second representation of the second portion of anatomy that has already been removed, wherein the second representation of the second portion of anatomy that has already been removed comprises a shadow portion of the image-mapped feature model.
