Augmented reality and optical navigation assisted orbital surgery: a novel integrated workflow.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Due to the close topographical relationship of functional relevant anatomic structures, limited space and cosmetic aspects orbital surgery will remain a challenging discipline. Therefore, novel technical capabilities are necessary for further surgical progress. We here tested the integration of augmented reality and optical navigation in one workflow for interdisciplinary decision-making, feasibility and intraoperative guidance.

Methods

High-resolution contrast-enhanced MRI and CT scans were automated and manual-assisted segmented to achieve a detailed three-dimensional (3D) model of the individual patho-anatomical relationships. Augmented reality was used for interdisciplinary preoperative planning and intraoperative intuitive navigation. Mayfield clamp head hold
