Real-time image-guided and computer augmented reality in minimally invasive hepatopancreatobiliary surgery cutting edge technology transforming HPB surgery.
Review in Surgical endoscopy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe minimally invasive hepatopancreatobiliary (MI-HPB) surgery demands a greater depth of concentration and a thorough understanding of anatomy, along with advanced technical skills for precise tissue manipulation. Robotic surgery, with its precision and refined control, is increasingly replacing conventional laparoscopic approaches in MI-HPB procedures. Modern robotic systems serve as intuitive extensions of the surgeon's hands, offering exceptional dexterity and enhanced sensory feedback, though they remain functionally limited in some respects. The integration of augmented reality features is now feasible and holds promise as a safety enhancement, providing real-time intraoperative support to surgeons.
methodIn this review article, we describe currently available real-time image technologies and their clinical applications in HPB surgery, including an indocyanine-green fluorescence view, integrated intraoperative ultrasound using a miniature drop-in probe, and novel 3D simulation imaging system.
resultsThe technology described in this article is readily available to support surgeons in perceiving and understanding relevant anatomy and serves as a navigation system in surgery. Technology and its users are mutually intertwined, continuously shaping and influencing one another.
conclusionThese innovations are not only redefining safety standards in minimally invasive HPB surgery but also ushering in a new era of digital surgery in HPB through increasingly advanced application of augmented reality.
