Problem
Laparoscopic liver surgery is a minimally invasive technique offering significant advantages over open surgery, including reduced complications, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times. However, the limited visualization during these procedures complicates precise navigation and tumor removal, hindering wider adoption. Surgeons face challenges in accurately locating and delineating tumors within the liver due to the two-dimensional view provided by laparoscopic cameras.
Solution
Navari has developed an augmented reality (AR) tool designed to enhance surgical precision during minimally invasive liver procedures. The system overlays a real-time, three-dimensional visualization of liver tumors directly onto the surgeon's laparoscopic camera feed. This AR guidance provides surgeons with improved intraoperative awareness, enabling more accurate tumor localization and resection. By making the invisible visible, Navari aims to broaden the availability of minimally invasive techniques, offering cancer patients a safer and more effective surgical option.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes surgeons specializing in minimally invasive liver surgery, as well as hospitals and cancer centers seeking to expand their capabilities in advanced surgical techniques.
