Технологии дополненной реальности представляют собой перспективное направление в современной абдоминальной хирургии, обеспечивая наложение виртуальных трехмерных моделей анатомических структур на реальное операционное поле. Проведенный обзор литературы последних пяти лет показал наиболее значительные достижения в применении дополненной реальности при операциях на печени и поджелудочной железе, где данная технология способствует снижению интраоперационной кровопотери, сокращению частоты гемотрансфузий и продолжительности госпитализации. Клинические исследования подтверждают безопасность метода и его потенциал в повышении радикальности онкологических резекций. Несмотря на имеющиеся технические ограничения и необходимость стандартизации, дополненная реальность демонстрирует значительный потенциал для улучшения интраоперационной навигации, снижения когнитивной нагрузки хирурга и повышения точности выполнения сложных оперативных вмешательств. Дальнейшее развитие технологии связано с интеграцией искусственного интеллекта и роботических систем.

Augmented reality (AR) technologies present a promising approach to modern abdominal surgery as they provide virtual, 3D models of anatomical structures overlaid on the actual surgical field. A literature review of the past five years revealed significant advances in using AR in liver and pancreatic surgeries due to its effectiveness in reducing intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion frequency, and hospital stay length. Clinical studies confirm not only the safety of the method, but also its potential to increase the extent of oncological resections. Technical limitations and the need for standardization notwithstanding, augmented reality shows great promise in improving intraoperative navigation, reducing cognitive load on surgeons, and enhancing the precision of complex surgical procedures. The further development of AR technology involves integration with artificial intelligence and robotic systems.
