Challenges arise from dynamic deformations of organs during surgery, making preoperative models inadequate for faithfully representing intraoperative anatomy. To enable reliable navigation in augmented surgery, modeling of intraoperative deformation to obtain an accurate alignment of the preoperative organ model with the intraoperative anatomy is indispensable. Despite the existence of various methods proposed to model intraoperative organ deformation, there are still few literature reviews that systematically categorize and summarize these approaches. This review aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive and technical-oriented overview of modeling methods for intraoperative organ deformation in augmented reality in surgery. Through a systematic search and screening process, 112 closely relevant papers were included in this review.

Accuracy of screw insertion was determined using the Gertzbein-Robbins Scale. The accuracy of the novel robotic system was evaluated by comparing the screw position in the preoperative planning and measuring the entry point deviation distance and the trajectory rotation. The differences in operative time, intraoperative blood loss, radiographic fluoroscopy time and fluoroscopic dosage, and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups. The lumbar visual analog scale scores before and 7 days after operation were analyzed to evaluate the improvement of low back pain as the early postoperative outcome. A total of 84 pedicle screws were placed. In the RA group, 97.5% of screws were Grade A, and 2.5% were Grade B. In the FH group, 88.6% of screws were Grade A, 9.1% were Grade B, and 2.3% were Grade C. No statistical difference was found in the operation time between two groups.

Numerous studies were published on the usage of VSP in craniomaxillofacial surgery.

Twenty-nine related articles were selected as a sample and synthesized thoroughly. These papers were grouped assigning to the four subdisciplines of craniomaxillofacial surgery: orthognathic surgery, reconstructive surgery, trauma surgery and implant surgery. The following variables - treatment time, the accuracy of VSP, clinical outcome, cost, and cost-effectiveness - were also examined. Results revealed that VSP offers advantages in craniomaxillofacial surgery over the traditional method in terms of duration, predictability and clinical outcomes.

One surgeon performed robotic TKA on four cadaveric knees. A novel technique was developed for measuring the dimensional accuracy of both the femoral and tibial cut surfaces. CT scans were used to create a pre-operative plan and generate nominal cut surfaces on the 3D bone model. After TKA, the cut surfaces were then laser scanned. Two femoral components were also scanned and compared to nominal dimensions. Flatness was computed as the standard deviation between each of the cut surfaces and the best-fit plane. The angles between the five femoral best-fit planes were compared to the nominal values. The point-to-point distances between the femoral cut surfaces and the nominal cut planes were computed to estimate the bone-to-implant gap. The cut surfaces had an average flatness of 0.16 ± 0.06 mm with low variability between different cut planes. The femoral cut surfaces had average angular errors of 0.47 ± 0.39°, which are of similar magnitude as the errors found for the implants. The bone-to-implant gap was within ±1 mm for 97.9% of the surface on average. Using a novel methodology, the dimensional accuracy of an active robotic system for TKA was found to be very high for both the femoral and tibial bone cuts.
