Watch: How holograms, virtual reality, and AI are transforming the operating room
Could virtual organs make high-risk surgeries safer? Surgeons can explore 3D models of patients’ organs through VR goggles, cutting into the model with virtual tools.

00:00What we are able to do here is that we are also able to create a resection plan to simulate how
00:21the tumor can be cut out. This also allows us to calculate the volume of the liver and
00:29also the remnant and the resect.
00:37So what we have learned from the clinicians is that the real value is the spatial feeling
00:44and the understanding of the anatomical structures that you get from looking at it from different
00:51angles, being able to expand it, being able to cut into it with different tools.
00:59Current care is looking at big grey CT imaging, slice after slice after slice and trying to piece it together.
01:07So you imagine five surgeons trying to plan a complicated case. They all have different opinions,
01:15different ways of thinking about it. Younger ones don't dare to say too much to the professor. So then you have this very
01:22unique opportunity to collaborate and look at the images and expand the images, go inside the images and actually plan better surgery.
01:28We've had cases where we've had cases where a surgeon has actually called back a patient who he had decided he was in a hospital.
01:36We've had cases where a surgeon has actually called back a patient who he had decided he was in a hospital.
01:42Sent him home and said, we can't do anything for you. Had taken our platform and then he realised that actually he could operate.
01:56So he brought the case back in and the man has taken care of.
02:02We've had cases where a surgeon has actually called back a patient who he had decided he was inoperable, sent him home and said we can't do anything for you.
02:12He was, as we followed, is alive and well with his children.
02:26The 3D models are put inside to help with navigation and our ultimate goal, of course, is that a surgeon would have on a lens and be looking at the patient.
02:37So the hologram would be overlaid and fixed onto the body of a patient.
02:41So you imagine the liver so that it was fixed and you would operate in 3D through the hologram.
