A Novel Augmented Reality System (ARssist) for the Assistant Surgeon in Robotic Assisted Surgery

Robotic prostatectomy is a surgery for treating localized prostate cancer. The ARssist system is a novel augmented reality system designed for the assistant surgeon, allowing delivery of augmented reality information via Microsoft HoloLens 2 (a head mount display developed by Microsoft) to better delineate the 3-D operative environment and enable better visualization. To date, there is no prospective study on the clinical performance and utilization of the ARssist system. This study is to evaluate the clinical feasibility and safety of the ARssist system during robotic surgery with the da Vinci Xi system.
