Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction can realize the accurate preoperative diagnosis of liver and intrahepatic tumors and can also help to complete the preoperative operation planning. 3D visual surgical navigation technology has been applied in liver surgery. Virtual reality (VR) technology is still in the primary stage of research and development. It can only simulate the operation of 3D reconstruction model of liver but cannot fully show the actual operation scene. With the development of computer technology and the further maturity of 3D reconstruction and VR technology, their application in liver surgery is showing a bright future.
Highlights
Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction technology is a kind of mathematical model established by computer for 3D objects
Preoperative 3D reconstruction and Virtual reality (VR) technology can realize the measurement of liver volume and the implementation of simulated hepatectomy, which can further clarify the scope of surgical resection and ensure the residual liver volume and function to meet the needs of patients after operation
The virtual operation and image navigation before and during the operation can prevent the injury of important blood vessels and bile ducts in the liver during the operation, significantly shorten the operation time, reduce the bleeding during the operation, and reduce the occurrence of complications such as liver dysfunction, bile leakage and bleeding after hepatectomy [4,5,6]. 3D reconstruction and VR technology can help surgeons to optimize the operation plan, predict the possible accidents in the operation in advance, and ensure the radical resection of liver tumor
