U.S., Feb. 4 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06805045) titled 'Image-Guided Surgery In The Treatment Of Rectal Cancer (AR_CRC)' on Jan. 28.
Brief Summary: The proposed study is addressed to introduce new Image-Guided Surgery (IGS) tools to assist mini-invasive surgical procedures of anterior rectal resection (TME; TA-TME, TTSS) performed with laparoscopic or robotic procedure. In details, the idea is to provide augmented reality (AR) guidance during robotic-assisted and laparoscopic surgeries, by overlaying the preoperative 3D virtual anatomical models to intraoperative surgical images (3D AR guidance).
To optimize the intraoperative view during the 3D AR guidance, AI-based algorithms will be d...
