General & GI surgery · Case report · n: 1 patient
“Novel techniques, including ultrasonography-guided placement of a guiding marker and strategic port-site placement facilitated by HoloLens2, ensured accurate tumor identification and laparoscopic resection with minimal blood loss and no intraoperative complications.”
Ivanov VM et al. · Journal of imaging · 2022
General & GI surgery · Case series · n: 8 patients
“Both techniques were used (8 clinical cases) for preoperative planning and intraoperative navigation, which allowed surgeons to verify the radicality of the operation, to have visual control of all anatomical structures near the zone of interest”
