OBJECTIVE The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the efficacy of bone cement-augmented percutaneous short segment fixation for treating Kummell's disease accompanied by severe osteoporosis. METHODS From 2009 to 2013, ten patients with single-level Kummell's disease accompanied by severe osteoporosis were enrolled in this study. After postural reduction for 1-2 days, bone cement-aug...

Aim. To describe the experience of using augmented reality system in abdominal surgery at one clinical center. Materials and methods. In 2021–2022, five patients underwent laparoscopy with technology. The interventions included echinococcectomy resection IV, V, VI liver segments, pancreaticoduodenal for pancreatic head cancer, excision mesostenium cyst, pancreas body tail neuroendocrine tumor. ...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Our group has developed an augmented image guidance system that incorporates intraoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), virtual or augmented displays, and image registration. We assessed the potential benefits of augmented endoscopy derived from this system for use during skull base navigation. Specifically, we wished to evaluate target localization accuracy and ...

Laparoscopic surgery holds great promise in medicine but remains challenging for surgeons because it is difficult to perceive depth while suturing. In addition binocular parallax, such as three-dimensional vision, shadow essential perception. This paper presents an augmented reality system that draws virtual shadows aid On the visual display, generates mimic actual by estimating positions using...
