Surgeons try High-Tech goggles to spot hidden tumors during keyhole surgery
NCT ID NCT06067971
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study tested whether augmented reality (AR) can help surgeons during laparoscopic surgery for uterine fibroids or adenomyosis. AR overlays images from pre-surgery scans onto the live video feed, potentially making it easier to see and remove benign tumors. Forty patients took part, and the main goal was to measure surgeon comfort and feasibility using a standard workload scale.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- augmented reality device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that augmented reality makes it easier for surgeons to see and remove benign tumors during minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 40 patients. It measures surgeon comfort, not patient outcomes, so it may not lead to widespread use or prove that the technology improves health.
