Area of Science:

  • Surgical Navigation Technologies
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Rectal Cancer Treatment

Background:

  • Stereotactic navigation offers real-time, image-guided surgical capabilities, creating an augmented operative environment.
  • Minimally invasive surgery, particularly for complex procedures like transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) for rectal cancer, presents significant technical challenges and risks.
  • Enhanced spatial awareness is crucial for improving surgical outcomes in demanding procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of stereotactic navigation in transanal minimally invasive surgery total mesorectal excision (TAMIS-TME).
  • To explore the potential of image-guided surgery to enhance surgeon spatial awareness.
  • To discuss the future integration of augmented reality and image-guided surgery in minimally invasive procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Application of stereotactic navigation techniques in a surgical setting.
  • Focus on complex minimally invasive procedures targeting fixed anatomic areas.
  • Demonstration of feasibility for TAMIS-TME procedures.

Main Results:

  • Feasibility of employing stereotactic navigation for TAMIS-TME has been successfully demonstrated.
  • The technique provides real-time, image-guided surgical assistance.
  • Potential for improved spatial awareness for the surgical operator.

Conclusions:

  • Stereotactic navigation is feasible for TAMIS-TME, a technically demanding rectal cancer surgery.
  • This technology can theoretically enhance surgeon spatial awareness, potentially improving resection quality.
  • Image-guided and augmented reality systems represent the future of advanced minimally invasive surgery.
