1. A modular surgical system, comprising:
a header module comprising a power supply;
a first surgical module;
a second surgical module, wherein the first surgical module is arrangeable in a stack configuration with the header module and the second surgical module, wherein the second surgical module supports the first surgical module in the stack configuration, and wherein the first surgical module supports the header module in the stack configuration; and
a segmented power backplane, comprising:
a first backplane segment in the header module;
a second backplane segment in the first surgical module, wherein the second backplane segment is detachably coupled to the first backplane segment in the stack configuration, and wherein separating the first surgical module from the stack configuration with the header module decouples the second backplane segment from the first backplane segment; and
a third backplane segment in the second surgical module, wherein the third backplane segment is detachably coupled to the second backplane segment in the stack configuration, wherein separating the second surgical module from the stack configuration with the first surgical module decouples the third backplane segment from the second backplane segment, and wherein first backplane segment, the second backplane segment, and the third backplane segment are configured to cooperate to transmit energy from the power supply to the second surgical module in the stack configuration.
