A system comprising: a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, are configured to execute a surgical planning program configured to: track a tool relative to a model of an anatomy during a preoperative surgical simulation; generate a planning parameter based on tracking of the tool relative to the model of the anatomy during the preoperative surgical simulation; and store the generated planning parameter; and a surgical system configured to: load the generated planning parameter from the surgical planning program; and facilitate intraoperative surgery based on the generated planning parameter. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the tool used during the preoperative surgical simulation is a physical tool. 3. The system of claim 2, further comprising a navigation system configured to track the tool during the preoperative surgical simulation. 4. The system of claim 2, wherein the surgical system comprises a physical tool to facilitate intraoperative surgery, and wherein the physical tool used during the preoperative surgical simulation and the physical tool used during intraoperative surgery are the same type, and wherein the generated planning parameter physically modifies operation of the physical tool during the intraoperative surgery. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the generated planning parameter based on tracking of the tool includes a virtual boundary for the tool. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the generated planning parameter based on tracking of the tool includes one or more of: a path of the tool, a feed rate of the tool, a cutting speed of the tool, a force applied by the tool, a damping applied to the tool, a power applied to the tool, an amount of material deposited by the tool, a function executed by the tool, an orientation of the tool, and a sequence of selection of a plurality of tools. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the computer-readable medium further comprises instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, are configured to generate at least one note associated with the generated planning parameter. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the tool used during the preoperative surgical simulation is a virtual tool. 9.

The system of claim 1, wherein the computer-readable medium further comprises instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, are configured to generate a surgical plan based on the generated planning parameter. 11. The system of claim 1, wherein the model of the anatomy is an image representation. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein the tool used during the preoperative surgical simulation is a physical tool, and wherein the planning parameter is generated based on the use of the physical tool in relation to the image representation. 13. The system of claim 1, wherein the model of the anatomy is physical model. 14. The system of claim 1, wherein the surgical system autonomously executes at least part of the intraoperative surgery based on the generated planning parameter. 15. The system of claim 1, wherein the surgical system comprises one or more of an augmented reality display, a virtual reality display, a mixed reality display, or a holographic display that is configured to display the generated planning parameter. 16. The system of claim 1, wherein the surgical system is further configured to display the generated planning parameter during the intraoperative surgery. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the surgical system is further configured to modify the display of the generated planning parameter during the intraoperative surgery. 18. The system of claim 16, wherein the generated planning parameter is displayed as an overlay on top of the anatomy. 19. The system of claim 16, wherein a note associated with the generated planning parameter is generated during the preoperative surgical simulation, and wherein surgical system is configured to display the note along with the generated planning parameter during the intraoperative surgery. 20. The system of claim 1, wherein the surgical system comprises a robotic manipulator and a navigation unit configured to track the robotic manipulator. 21. The system of claim 1, wherein the surgical planning program is configured to automatically generate the planning parameter. 22. The system of claim 1, wherein the surgical planning program is configured to receive an input from a user identifying the planning parameter and to generate the planning parameter based on the input. 23. A method comprising: tracking a tool relative to a model of an anatomy during a preoperative surgical simulation using a surgical planning program; generating, with the surgical planning program, a planning parameter based on the tracking of the tool relative to the model of the anatomy during the preoperative surgical simulation; storing the generated planning parameter in a non-transitory computer readable medium; loading the generated planning parameter into a surgical system from the non-transitory computer readable medium; and facilitating intraoperative surgery with the surgical system based on the generated parameter. 24. A non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors, are configured to execute a surgical planning program configured to: track a tool relative to a model of an anatomy during a preoperative surgical simulation; generate a planning parameter based on the tracking of the tool relative to the model of the anatomy during the preoperative surgical simulation; and store the generated planning parameter for access by a surgical system configured to facilitate intraoperative surgery based on the generated parameter."
