“…Clinical navigation systems are nowadays routinely used in a variety of surgical disciplines to assist surgeons with minimally invasive and open interventions for supporting spatial orientation and targeting [31,32,33,34,35,36,37]. In surgical navigators, AR-based techniques are often used for identifying the precise location of target lesions or body regions to improve the safety and accuracy of the interventions [16,38,39,40,41]. There is a growing interest on the use of AR systems as new surgical navigation systems.…”

In mini-invasive surgery and in endoscopic procedures, the surgeon operates without a direct visualization of the patient's anatomy. In imageguided surgery, solutions based on wearable augmented reality (AR) represent the most promising ones. The authors describe the characteristics that an ideal Head Mounted Display (HMD) must have to guarantee safety and accuracy in AR-guided neurosurgical interventions and design the ideal virtual content for guiding crucial task in neuro endoscopic surgery. The selected sequence of AR content to obtain an effective guidance during surgery is tested in a Microsoft Hololens based app.

The aim of this work was the development of a surgical assistance system based on augmented reality to support joint replacement procedures and implantation of prosthetic knee. Images of the scene were captured in order to detect the visual markers located on the lateral surface of the patient’s leg for overlapping the 3D models of the prosthesis and the joint, as well as the tool used by the medical specialist. With the marker identification, it was possible to compute its position and orientation for locating the virtual models, obtaining a monitoring system for giving accurate information about the procedure. Also it can be used as training platform for surgeons, without having volunteers or patients for performing real surgeries; instead they can train in a virtual environment. The results have shown an efficient system in terms of cost-benefit relation, taking into account the materials used for developing the system; nevertheless, the accuracy of the algorithm decreases according to the distance between the markers.

“…AR can provide additional information on top of real-world experiences, such as visual clues for navigation. To make the experience more realistic, these simulators can take advantage of the incorporation of augmented reality technology (AR), which allows the perception of objects in the simulators in three dimensions [15][16][17].…”

A Review of Training and Guidance Systems in Medical Surgery

In this paper, a map of the state of the art of recent medical simulators that provide evaluation and guidance for surgical procedures is performed. The systems are reviewed and compared from the viewpoint of the used technology, force feedback, learning evaluation, didactic and visual aid, guidance, data collection and storage, and type of solution (commercial or non-commercial). The works’ assessment was made to identify if—(1) current applications can provide assistance and track performance in training, and (2) virtual environments are more suitable for practicing than physical applications. Automatic analysis of the papers was performed to minimize subjective bias. It was found that some works limit themselves to recording the session data to evaluate them internally, while others assess it and provide immediate user feedback. However, it was found that few works are currently implementing guidance, aid during sessions, and assessment. Current trends suggest that the evaluation process’s automation could reduce the workload of experts and let them focus on improving the curriculum covered in medical education. Lastly, this paper also draws several conclusions, observations per area, and suggestions for future work.
