Abstract

Claims (35)

1 . A mixed reality endoscopic surgical procedure method, comprising:

selecting a three-dimensional holographic first image or video representative of a body part to be surgically operated on;

displaying the three-dimensional holographic first image or video of the body part on a display;

positioning an endoscope comprising a camera relative to the body part, wherein the endoscope further comprises a guidewire;

displaying, from the camera of the endoscope, a second video of the guidewire relative to the body part;

overlaying the second video and the three-dimensional first holographic image or video over each other;

displaying one or more graphical markers on or adjacent to the overlaid second video and three-dimensional holographic first image or video, wherein the one or more graphical markers are adapted to visually assist a user to guide the guidewire; and

penetrating the body part via the guidewire.

2 . The mixed reality endoscopic surgical procedure method of claim 1 , wherein the first holographic first image is comprised of a duodenum illustrating a major papilla orifice or ampulla.

3 . The mixed reality endoscopic surgical procedure method of claim 1 , wherein the body part is comprised of the major papilla orifice or ampulla.

4 . The mixed reality endoscopic surgical procedure method of claim 1 , wherein the endoscope is further comprised of a sphincterotome.

5 . The mixed reality endoscopic surgical procedure method of claim 4 , further comprising:

orientating the sphincterotome to a desired position relative to the position of the first holographic image of the body part.

6 . The mixed reality endoscopic surgical procedure method of claim 4 , further comprising:

orientating the sphincterotome within a range of about 10-degrees to about 80-degrees relative to a horizontal plane and further with respect to the position of the first holographic image of the body part.

7 . The mixed reality endoscopic surgical procedure method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying a three-dimensional third holographic image or video relative to the three-dimensional first holographic image and the video.

8 . The mixed reality endoscopic surgical procedure method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying one or more holographic information of patient vitals.

9 . The mixed reality endoscopic surgical procedure method of claim 1 , wherein the video is further comprised of streaming one or more video or image data from a first source.

10 . The mixed reality endoscopic surgical procedure method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying one or more holographic images of one or more users and further communicating with the one or more users via audio or video.

11 . A mixed reality endoscopic surgical procedure method, comprising:

selecting a three-dimensional holographic first image representative of a body part to be surgically operated on;

displaying the three-dimensional holographic first image of the body part via an augmented reality or virtual reality headset;

positioning an endoscope comprising a camera relative to the body part, wherein the endoscope further comprises a guidewire;

displaying a second video, via a feed from the camera of the endoscope, the body part relative to the guidewire;

overlaying the three-dimensional first holographic image or video and the second video over each other;

displaying one or more visual representations on or adjacent to the overlaid second video and three-dimensional holographic first image or video; and

positioning the guidewire using the one or more visual representations and the overlaid second video and three-dimensional holographic first image or video.

12 . A mixed reality endoscopic surgical procedure method, comprising:

selecting a first image representative of a body part to be surgically operated on;

displaying the first image of the body part via an augmented reality or virtual reality headset;

positioning an endoscope comprising a camera relative to the body part, wherein the endoscope further comprises a catheter;

displaying a second image or video, retrieved via the camera of the endoscope, the body part relative to the catheter;

overlaying the first image and the second image or video over each other;

displaying one or more visual representations on or adjacent to the overlaid first image and second image or video; and

orienting the catheter using the one or more visual representations and the overlaid first image and second image or video.
