Next-gen camera control for cholecystectomy using mixed reality

A new head-mounted mixed reality platform could revolutionize cholecystectomy by improving camera control.

  • Verbal instructions for camera assistants dropped from 15.3 to 0.2 per procedure.
  • Mean operative time decreased from 74.8 to 66.0 minutes.

This technology not only boosts efficiency but also enhances visualization and reliability in surgery.

  • Camera movements were reduced by over 70%, leading to nearly 25% less intraoperative blood loss.
