Abstract

Minimally invasive surgery is the standard for many abdominal interventions, with an increasing use of telemanipulated robots. As collaborative robots enter the field of medical interventions, their intuitive control needs to be addressed. Augmented reality can thereby support a surgeon by representing the surgical scene in a natural way. In this work, an augmented reality based robot control for laparoscopic cholecystectomy is presented. A user can interact with the virtual scene to clip the cystic duct and artery as well as to manipulate the deformable gallbladder. An evaluation was performed based on the SurgTLX and system usability scale.
