Objective: To investigate the application value of augmented reality navigation combined with indocyanine green(ICG) fluorescence imaging technology in laparoscopic anatomical segment 8 liver resection. Methods: Clinical and pathological data from 8 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma located in segment 8 of the liver admitted to the First Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery,Zhujiang Hospital,Southern Medical University from October 2021 to October 2022 were collected restrospectively. Among them,there were 5 males and 3 females,aged between 40 and 72 years. During the operation,the self-developed laparoscopic augmented reality surgical navigation system was used to integrate the three-dimensional liver model with the laparoscopic scene,and ICG fluorescence imaging technology was used to guide the anatomical liver resection of segment 8. The predicted liver resection volume and actual liver resection volume,related surgical indicators and postoperative complications were analyzed. Results: Among the 8 patients, 4 underwent laparoscopic anatomical segment 8 liver resection,1 underwent laparoscopic anatomical ventral subsegment of segment 8 liver resection,2 underwent laparoscopic anatomical ventral subsegment combined with medial subsegment of segment 8 liver resection, and 1 underwent laparoscopic anatomical dorsal subsegment of segment 8 liver resection. All operations were completed under the guidance of augmented reality navigation combined with ICG fluorescence imaging,without conversion to open surgery. The operation time was (276.3±54.8)minutes(range:200 to 360 minutes). Intraoperative blood loss was (75.0±35.4)ml(range:50 to 150 ml). No blood transfusion was performed during the operation. The length of postoperative hospital stay was (7.6±0.8)days(range:7 to 9 days). There were no deaths or postoperative complications such as bleeding or biliary fistula during the perioperative period. Conclusion: Augmented reality navigation combined with ICG fluorescence imaging technology can guide the implementation of laparoscopic anatomical segment 8 liver resection.
