1. A network of surgical hubs, comprising:
a first surgical hub comprising a first control circuit programmed to determine a priority of a process related to a surgical procedure based on a requirement of a surgical device used during the surgical procedure in communication with the first control circuit; and
a second surgical hub comprising a second control circuit,
wherein the first control circuit is programmed to selectively distribute an execution of the process related to the surgical procedure and process data to the second control circuit based on the priority of the process.
