Abstract

The development of digital intelligent diagnostic and treatment technology has opened countless new opportunities for liver surgery from the era of digital anatomy to a new era of digital diagnostics, virtual surgery simulation and using the created scenarios in real-time surgery using mixed reality. In this article, we described our experience on developing a dedicated 3 dimensional visualization and reconstruction software for surgeons to be used in advanced liver surgery and living donor liver transplantation. Further-more, we shared the recent developments in the field by explaining the outreach of the software from virtual reality to augmented reality and mixed reality.
