Chinese expert consensus on laparoscopic hepatic segmentectomy and subsegmentectomy navigated by augmented and mixed reality technology combined with indocyanine green fluorescence(2023)

Abstract

Augmented reality and mixed reality technologies have pioneered the realization of real-time fusion and interactive projection for laparoscopic surgery. Indocyanine green molecular imaging technology has realized anatomical, functional and radical hepatectomy through tumor identification and localization of target hepatic segmental extent, which has led to the transformation of hepatic surgical diseases from traditional empirical diagnostic and treatment modes to digital intelligent diagnostic and treatment modes. The Hepatic Surgery Group of the Surgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, the Digital Medicine Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, the Digital Intelligent Surgery Committee of the Chinese Society of Research Hospitals and the Liver Cancer Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have organized the relevant experts in China to formulate this consensus,which detailed advantages, process and key points of augmented reality and mixed reality technology combined with indocyanine green molecular imaging technology in hepatic segmental and subsegmental resection, to streamline and standardize the application of this technology for promotion.
