Efficiency, Accuracy and Clinical Applicability of a New Image-Guided Surgery System in 3D Laparoscopic Liver Surgery

To investigate efficiency, accuracy and clinical benefit of a new augmented reality system for 3D laparoscopic liver surgery. All patients who received laparoscopic liver resection by a new image-guided surgery system with augmented 3D-imaging in a university hospital were included for analysis. Digitally processed preoperative cross-sectional imaging was merged with the laparoscopic image. Intraoperative efficiency of the procedure was measured...
