A surgical system includes a surgical stapler and an electrical impedance tomography (EIT) system. The surgical stapler includes a first jaw having an anvil and a second jaw having a stapler cartridge. The EIT system includes an electrode array including a plurality of electrodes operably coupled to the first jaw and/or the second jaw, and a processor. The processor is configured to control an application of an electrical current across electrodes of the electrode array, measure a voltage difference across electrodes of the electrode array, calculate electrical impedance based on the measured voltage difference, and generate an electrical impedance tomography reconstruction based on the calculated electrical impedance.
