Abstract:Bildgestützte Chirurgie oder image guided surgery (IGS) bedeutet, dass die prä-oder intraoperativen Abbildungen des operativen Situs und der angrenzenden Organe mit dem chirurgischen Instrument mit einem hohen Präzisionsgrad und in Echtzeit korreliert werden. IGS kann bis zu einem gewissen Grade als eine Erweiterung der minimal-invasiven Chirurgie verstanden werden, die seit den 90er-Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts eine weite Verbreitung fand. Ebenso wie IGS hat die minimal-invasive Chirurgie zum Ziel, durch e… Show more
Introduction The development augmented reality devices allow physicians to incorporate data visualization into diagnostic and treatment procedures to improve work efficiency, safety, and cost and to enhance surgical training. However, the awareness of possibilities of augmented reality is generally low. This review evaluates whether augmented reality can presently improve the results of surgical procedures. Methods We performed a review of available literature dating from 2010 to November 2016 by searching PubMed and Scopus using the terms “augmented reality” and “surgery.” Results. The initial search yielded 808 studies. After removing duplicates and including only journal articles, a total of 417 studies were identified. By reading of abstracts, 91 relevant studies were chosen to be included. 11 references were gathered by cross-referencing. A total of 102 studies were included in this review. Conclusions The present literature suggest an increasing interest of surgeons regarding employing augmented reality into surgery leading to improved safety and efficacy of surgical procedures. Many studies showed that the performance of newly devised augmented reality systems is comparable to traditional techniques. However, several problems need to be addressed before augmented reality is implemented into the routine practice.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
