An augmented reality system in lymphatico-venous anastomosis surgery†

An augmented reality system in lymphatico-venous anastomosis surgery†

Indocyanine green lymphography, displayed as infrared image, is very useful in identifying lymphatic vessels during surgeries. Surgeons refer the infrared image on the displays as they proceed the operation. Those displays are usually placed on the walls or besides the operation tables. The surgeons...

Surgeons refer the infrared image on the displays as they proceed the operation. Those displays are usually placed on the walls or besides the operation tables. The surgeons cannot watch the infrared image and the operation field simultaneously. They have to move their heads and visual lines. An augmented reality system was developed for simultaneous referring of the infrared image, overlaid on real operation field view. A surgeon wore a see-through eye-glasses type display during lymphatico-venous anastomosis surgery. Infrared image was transferred wirelessly to the display. The surgeon was able to recognize fluorescently shining lymphatic vessels projected on the glasses and dissect them out.
