Mixed reality endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatopgraphy (ERCP) procedure
View Patent ↗A mixed reality endoscopic surgical procedure method, including the steps of selecting a holographic first image of a body part to be surgically operated on in three-dimensional form and displaying the holographic first image of the body part. The method can further include positioning an endoscope relative to the body part, wherein the endoscope further includes a guidewire, displaying a second holographic image or video of the endoscope or guidewire relative to the body part, and using the first holographic first image as a visual guide for engaging the body part via the guidewire.
1. A mixed reality endoscopic surgical procedure method, comprising:
selecting a three-dimensional holographic first image comprised of a duodenum and ampulla representative of a patient's duodenum and ampulla from a plurality of three-dimensional holographic images representative of the patient's duodenum and ampulla, wherein the three-dimensional holographic first image of the duodenum graphically displays the ampulla at a head mounted display;
superimposing the three-dimensional holographic first image over a video of the patient's duodenum;
positioning a sphincterotome relative to the patient's duodenum, wherein the sphincterotome further comprises a guidewire;
displaying one or more graphical markers at least partially disposed on the three-dimensional holographic first image, wherein the one or more graphical markers are adjacent to the graphically displayed ampulla;
aligning, axially, a distal end of the sphincterotome with the one or more graphical markers; and
penetrating the patient's ampulla via the guidewire of the sphincterotome using the graphical markers on the three-dimensional holographic first image as a visual guide.
2. The mixed reality endoscopic surgical procedure method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more graphical markers are comprised of lane markers.
3. The mixed reality endoscopic surgical procedure method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more graphical markers are at about 10 o'clock position relative to the vertical plane from the viewpoint on the head mounted display.
4. A mixed reality endoscopic surgical procedure method, comprising:
selecting a three-dimensional holographic first image of a duodenum representative of a patient's duodenum via a head mounted display from a plurality of three-dimensional holographic images representative of the patient's duodenum, wherein the three-dimensional holographic first image of the duodenum graphically displays an ampulla;
displaying the three-dimensional holographic first image adjacent to a video of the patient's duodenum on the head mounted display;
positioning a sphincterotome relative to the patient's duodenum, wherein the sphincterotome further comprises a guidewire;
displaying one or more graphical markers at least partially disposed on the three-dimensional holographic first image on the head mounted display, wherein the graphical markers are adjacent to the graphically displayed ampulla;
aligning, axially, a distal end of the sphincterotome with the one or more graphical markers via the head mounted display; and
penetrating the patient's ampulla via the guidewire of the sphincterotome using the graphical markers on the three-dimensional holographic first image as a visual guide.
