Development of surgical assistance functions for abdominal surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to develop and evaluate surgical assistance functions that utilize clinical routine data to enhance intraoperative visualization during abdominal surgeries. By leveraging technologies such as augmented reality and computer-aided navigation, the study seeks to improve the surgical team's ability to identify anatomical structures in real time. The research is divided into two parts: the first focuses on creating a surgical assistance function from routinely collected clinical data, while the second evaluates the technical feasibility and medical relevance of this system in a clinical setting.
