Abstract
This review summarizes the key applications of a hybrid operating room (HOR) in hepatobiliary surgery and explores the advantages, limitations, and future directions of its utilization. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed to identify articles reporting on the utilization of HORs in liver surgery. So far, the HOR has been limitedly applied in hepatobiliary surgery. It can offer an optimal environment for combining radiological and surgical interventions and for performing image-guided surgical navigation.

Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg 2024; 19:1-9. [PMID: 37249749 DOI: 10.1007/s11548-023-02942-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Accuracy of image-guided liver surgery is challenged by deformation of the liver during the procedure. This study aims at improving navigation accuracy by using intraoperative deep learning segmentation and nonrigid registration of hepatic vasculature from ultrasound (US) images to compensate for changes in liver position and deformation. METHODS This was a single-center prospective study of patients with liver metastases from any origin. Electromagnetic tracking was used to follow US and liver movement. A preoperative 3D model of the liver, including liver lesions, and hepatic and portal vasculature, was registered with the intraoperative organ position. Hepatic vasculature was segmented using a reduced 3D U-Net and registered to preoperative imaging after initial alignment followed by nonrigid registration. Accuracy was assessed as Euclidean distance between the tumor center imaged in the intraoperative US and the registered preoperative image. RESULTS Median target registration error (TRE) after initial alignment was 11.6 mm in 25 procedures and improved to 6.9 mm after nonrigid registration (p = 0.0076). The number of TREs above 10 mm halved from 16 to 8 after nonrigid registration. In 9 cases, registration was performed twice after failure of the first attempt. The first registration cycle was completed in median 11 min (8:00-18:45 min) and a second in 5 min (2:30-10:20 min). CONCLUSION This novel registration workflow using automatic vascular detection and nonrigid registration allows to accurately localize liver lesions. Further automation in the workflow is required in initial alignment and classification accuracy.

Abstract
Medical image analysis forms the basis of image-guided surgery (IGS) and many of its fundamental tasks. Driven by the growing number of medical imaging modalities, the research community of medical imaging has developed methods and achieved functionality breakthroughs. However, with the overwhelming pool of information in the literature, it has become increasingly challenging for researchers to extract context-relevant information for specific applications, especially when many widely used methods exist in a variety of versions optimized for their respective application domains. By being further equipped with sophisticated three-dimensional (3D) medical image visualization and digital reality technology, medical experts could enhance their performance capabilities in IGS by multiple folds. The goal of this narrative review is to organize the key components of IGS in the aspects of medical image processing and visualization with a new perspective and insights. The literature search was conducted using mainstream academic search engines with a combination of keywords relevant to the field up until mid-2022. This survey systemically summarizes the basic, mainstream, and state-of-the-art medical image processing methods as well as how visualization technology like augmented/mixed/virtual reality (AR/MR/VR) are enhancing performance in IGS. Further, we hope that this survey will shed some light on the future of IGS in the face of challenges and opportunities for the research directions of medical image processing and visualization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Destroying liver tumors is a challenge for contemporary interventional radiology. The aim of this work is to compare different techniques used for the measurement of respiratory motion, as this is the main hurdle to the effective implementation of this therapy. METHODS Laparoscopic stereoscopic reconstruction of point displacements on the surface of the liver, observation of breathing using external markers placed on the surface of the abdominal cavity, and methods for registration of the surface of the abdominal cavity during breathing were implemented and evaluated. RESULTS The following accuracies were obtained: above 4 mm and 0.5 mm, and below 8 mm for laparoscopic, skin markers, and skin surface registration methods, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The clinical techniques and accompanying imaging modalities employed to destroy liver tumors, as well as the advantages and limitations of the proposed methods, are presented. Further directions for their development are also indicated.

Abstract
ZusammenfassungDurch die Optimierung der konservativen Behandlung, die Verbesserung der
bildgebenden Verfahren und die Weiterentwicklung der Operationstechniken haben
sich das operative Spektrum sowie der Maßstab für die Resektabilität in Bezug
auf die Leberchirurgie in den letzten Jahrzehnten deutlich verändert.Dank zahlreicher technischer Entwicklungen, insbesondere der 3-dimensionalen
Segmentierung, kann heutzutage die präoperative Planung und die Orientierung
während der Operation selbst, vor allem bei komplexen Eingriffen, unter
Berücksichtigung der patientenspezifischen Anatomie erleichtert werden.Neue Technologien wie 3-D-Druck, virtuelle und augmentierte Realität bieten
zusätzliche Darstellungsmöglichkeiten für die individuelle Anatomie.
Verschiedene intraoperative Navigationsmöglichkeiten sollen die präoperative
Planung im Operationssaal verfügbar machen, um so die Patientensicherheit zu
erhöhen.Dieser Übersichtsartikel soll einen Überblick über den gegenwärtigen Stand der
verfügbaren Technologien sowie einen Ausblick in den Operationssaal der Zukunft
geben.

Ultrasound-based navigation for open liver surgery using active liver tracking. Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg 2022; 17:1765-1773. [PMID: 35622201 DOI: 10.1007/s11548-022-02659-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2021] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Despite extensive preoperative imaging, intraoperative localization of liver lesions after systemic treatment can be challenging. Therefore, an image-guided navigation setup is explored that links preoperative diagnostic scans and 3D models to intraoperative ultrasound (US), enabling overlay of detailed diagnostic images on intraoperative US. Aim of this study is to assess the workflow and accuracy of such a navigation system which compensates for liver motion. METHODS Electromagnetic (EM) tracking was used for organ tracking and movement of the transducer. After laparotomy, a sensor was attached to the liver surface while the EM-tracked US transducer enabled image acquisition and landmark digitization. Landmarks surrounding the lesion were selected during patient-specific preoperative 3D planning and identified for registration during surgery. Endpoints were accuracy and additional times of the investigative steps. Accuracy was computed at the center of the target lesion. RESULTS In total, 22 navigated procedures were performed. Navigation provided useful visualization of preoperative 3D models and their overlay on US imaging. Landmark-based registration resulted in a mean fiducial registration error of 10.3 ± 4.3 mm, and a mean target registration error of 8.5 ± 4.2 mm. Navigation was available after an average of 12.7 min. CONCLUSION We developed a navigation method combining ultrasound with active liver tracking for organ motion compensation, with an accuracy below 10 mm. Fixation of the liver sensor near the target lesion compensates for local movement and contributes to improved reliability during navigation. This represents an important step forward in providing surgical navigation throughout the procedure. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study is registered in the Netherlands Trial Register (number NL7951).

World J Gastrointest Surg 2021; 13:904-922.

Abstract
With the continuous development of digital medicine, minimally invasive precision and safety have become the primary development trends in hepatobiliary surgery. Due to the specificity and complexity of hepatobiliary surgery, traditional preoperative imaging techniques such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging cannot meet the need for identification of fine anatomical regions. Imaging-based three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction, virtual simulation of surgery and 3D printing optimize the surgical plan through preoperative assessment, improving the controllability and safety of intraoperative operations, and in difficult-to-reach areas of the posterior and superior liver, assistive robots reproduce the surgeon’s natural movements with stable cameras, reducing natural vibrations. Electromagnetic navigation in abdominal surgery solves the problem of conventional surgery still relying on direct visual observation or preoperative image assessment. We summarize and compare these recent trends in digital medical solutions for the future development and refinement of digital medicine in hepatobiliary surgery.
