We present the design and a prototype implementation of a three-dimensional visualization system to assist with laparoscopic surgical procedures. The system uses 3D visualization, depth extraction from laparoscopic images, and six degree-of-freedom head and laparoscope tracking to display a merged real and synthetic image in the surgeon’s video-see-through head-mounted display. We also introduc...

The usefulness and feasibility of an augmented reality visualization system for laparoscopic surgery is examined. This technology could enable physicians to see data, such as medical images, as well as the patient’s 3-D anatomy, in the context of the patient rather than viewing a 2-D video monitor. Three new results will be presented: 1. A study whose chief findings were that augmented reality ...

We employ mixed reality as a collaborative tool for intra-operative planning of extended liver resections. The most important advantage of real time visualization of intrahepatic vascular structures using see-through glasses is the improved accuracy of the preparation of liver parenchyma. The impact of using augmented reality as an intra-operative navigation system should result in sparing sane...

In this paper we introduce a method for augmenting the laparoscopic view during hepatic tumor resection. Using augmented reality techniques, vessels, tumors and cutting planes computed from pre-operative data can be overlaid onto the laparoscopic video. Compared to current techniques, which are limited to a rigid registration of the pre-operative liver anatomy with the intra-operative image, we...

Augmented Reality is a promising paradigm for intraoperative assistance. Yet, apart from technical issues, a major obstacle to its clinical application is the man-machine interaction. Visualization of unnecessary, obsolete or redundant information may cause confusion and distraction, reducing usefulness and acceptance of the assistance system. We propose a system capable of automatically filter...

mycotic aortic aneurysms account for 1–3% of all aortic aneurysms. the management of this disease is controversial. since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown. secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatr...

Various surgical robotics need augmented reality functions for the extension of their abilities. To enhance the benefit of augmented reality for robotic surgery, two research experiences are described. One is the loading of the augmented reality function onto the laparoscopic surgical robot. The results of the clinical case where the commercial surgical robot da Vinch loaded with augmented real...

The utility of three-dimensional visualization modalities such as printing, augmented reality, and virtual reality has transformed the field surgery in past few years. These have demonstrated value preoperative planning, procedural training, surgical guidance many specialties. This review explores current use further investigates its potential subspecialty congenital heart defect surgery.
