1. A surgical system, comprising:
a first manipulator that supports a first surgical instrument;
a second manipulator that supports a second surgical instrument;
a third manipulator that supports an endoscope;
an operation apparatus that includes a display device that displays an endoscopic image captured by the endoscope on an entirety of a screen of the display device, a first operation handle to be operated by right hand, and a second operation handle to be operated by left hand; and
a control apparatus that controls at least the display device, wherein
the control apparatus displays, on the entirety of the screen of the display device, the endoscopic image captured by the endoscope, and displays on a portion of the screen of the display device, a graphical user interface in superimposed relation with the display of the endoscopic image captured by the endoscope, and
when the endoscope is moved by the third manipulator, the control apparatus displays the graphical user interface, which comprises a level for the endoscope in a central area other than a lower end region and an upper end region of the screen of the display device, wherein the level is displayed on a portion of the screen of the display device in superimposed relation with the endoscopic image displayed on the entirety of the screen of the display device, and
when the endoscope is not moved by the third manipulator, the control apparatus displays the graphical user interface, without including the level for the endoscope displayed in superimposed relation with the endoscopic image displayed on the entirety of the screen.
