Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) remains technically demanding due to the difficulty of
tracking hidden critical structures within the moving anatomy of the patient. In this study, we …

Purpose Video see-through augmented reality (VST-AR) navigation for laparoscopic partial
nephrectomy (LPN) can enhance intraoperative perception of surgeons by visualizing …

Mini-invasive partial nephrectomy (MIPN) has many advantages. However, it is challenging
for the surgeon to localise the hidden anatomical structures to be spared or resected during …

To improve the outcome of minimally invasive renal interventions, traditional video-guided
needle navigation can be enhanced by tracking the needle, guiding the needle using video …

Nephrectomy is the main treatment option for renal cancer. Augmented reality (AR) can
assist surgeons in minimallyinvasive nephrectomy. Here, intra-operative deformable …

Computer assisted navigation is a widely adopted technique in neurosurgery and
orthopedics. However, it is rarely used for surgeries on abdominal organs. In this paper, we …

Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) is a standard of care for small kidney cancer
tumours. A successful LPN is the complete excision of the kidney tumour while preserving as …

Robot-assisted surgeries have enabled surgeons to perform complex procedures more
precisely and easily as compared with the conventional laparoscopic surgery. These new …

OBJECTIVES: To investigate a markerless tracking system for real-time stereo-endoscopic
visualization of preoperative imaging as an augmented display during robot-assisted …

Purpose Resection site repair during laparoscopic oncological surgery (eg laparoscopic
