“…This interface can be used to integrate virtual images. In our experience of augmented reality and robotic surgery [36][37][38], a virtual targeting of liver lesions was used in two cirrhotic patients [2]. This technology allowed the superposing of preoperative radiological images directly on the patient's liver inside the robotic console and localizing of the tumor and the surrounding structures.…”

Robotic surgery is an emerging technique for the management of patients with liver disease, and only a limited number of reports are available. A systematic search of electronic databases (PubMed, Embase and Cochrane), including only case series with more than five patients, identified nine series (with one from our institution), which totaled to 232 patients. Overall, the peri-operative outcomes of the reported patients are similar to those utilizing the laparoscopic and open approaches. Robotic surgery appears to be a valid option for selected hepatic resections in experienced hands. It could represent a bridge toward minimally invasive approaches for confirmed liver surgeons. By contrast, the long-term oncological outcomes remain uncertain and need further studies.

“…This allows for limitless potential for data, particularly imaging, that can be collected both preoperatively and in real time and manipulated and integrated with the surgical anatomy to help identify critical anatomical structures. Volonte et al 26,27 described their experience with the interposition of stereoscopic images in the da Vinci console in several articles. This group streamed their stereoscopic 3-dimensionalYrendered images of the relevant anatomy and pathology into the da Vinci console during surgery.…”

Robotic surgery for laparoscopic procedures such as advanced gastrointestinal surgery and abdominal malignancies is currently on the rise. The first robotic systems have been used since the 1990s with increasing number of clinical cases and broader clinical applications each year. Although high-evidence-level data are scarce, studies suggest that the technical advantages of robotic surgery result in a clinical value for procedures of advanced complexity such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and revisional bariatric surgery. Ultimately, the digital interface of the robotic system with the option to integrate augmented reality and real-time imaging will allow advanced applications particularly in the field of gastrointestinal surgery for malignancies.

“…However, in the present studies 3D images had to be viewed on a separate DICOM viewer (PACS Vue Solutions, Carestream Health, Rochester, NY, USA) and the surgeon had to leave the da Vinci console during the surgical procedure [78,83]. The next step to an augmented reality view would be fusion of the complementary information provided by preoperative SPECT/CT and intraoperative fluorescence imaging [84,85].…”

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is the most common radioguided surgery procedure and standard of care for lymph node staging in clinically node-negative patients with melanoma and breast cancer. While SLNB has also emerged as a potential alternative to lymph node dissection for staging in patients with other solid malignancies, its use for this purpose has to date not been widely accepted owing to technical limitations in complex anatomic areas such as the head and neck and the pelvic region. However, new technologies have recently been developed to overcome these limitations. This review focuses on the new technologies that improve SLN localization in complex anatomic areas, including new diagnostic tracers ( 99m Tc-tilmanocept and hybrid tracers), preoperative SPECT/CT imaging, and scintigraphic threedimensional intraoperative imaging techniques.
