Leveraging augmented reality for dynamic guidance in 3-dimensional laparoscopic and robotic liver surgery: a prospective case series study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Accurate anatomical knowledge and precise visualization are critical during liver surgery. We developed augmented reality (AR) software that overlays digital 3-dimensional (3D) models onto laparoscopic or robotic views, providing real-time visual aids for surgical navigation during 3D laparoscopic and robotic liver surgeries. This study assesses the accuracy of manual registration and the subjective perception of this AR software by the operator.

Methods

Ten consecutive patients undergoing 3D laparoscopic or robotic liver surgery from December 2023 to February 2024 were selected for application of the AR software during surgery. Manual registration accuracy was quantified post-registration using the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) to compare the stereoscopic and vi
