Problem
Navigating mobile and deformable organs during minimally invasive laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgeries presents significant challenges to surgeons. Traditional surgical visualization techniques often lack the precision and real-time information needed to accurately target tissues and avoid critical structures. This can lead to increased surgical time, higher risk of complications, and suboptimal patient outcomes.
Solution
SURGAR provides an augmented reality (AR) software suite designed to enhance visualization and precision during minimally invasive surgeries. The system utilizes real-time 3D models generated from patient-specific MRI and CT scans to overlay critical anatomical information directly onto the surgeon's display. This AR overlay compensates for organ movement and deformation, providing surgeons with an accurate and dynamic view of the surgical field. By integrating pre-operative imaging data with real-time surgical video, SURGAR aims to improve surgical accuracy, reduce complications, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes surgeons specializing in minimally invasive laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgeries, as well as hospitals and surgical centers seeking to enhance surgical precision and patient safety.
