Figure 3.21 The Thunderbeat is the first integration of advanced bipolar sealing and ultrasonic technologies.
3.5.5 Radiofrequency ablation
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is often used to destroy small and deeply located intraparenchymal lesions while avoiding deep parenchymal resection and significant parenchymal volume loss. The RFA device generates a high-frequency alternating current to cause focal tissue destruction at the tip of the electrode, which is inserted through a trocar or directly through the abdominal wall and placed into the target lesion under the guidance of ultrasonography. The technique of precise targeting using laparoscopic ultrasonography guidance is relatively diffi­cult. Nevertheless, it has an important role, especially in the management of bilobar, multiple or unresectable lesions, and in patients with impaired liver function [10]. The combination of direct visualization with ultrasonic guidance of target lesions during laparoscopic RFA has important benefits in certain cases over axial image­guided ablation techniques owing to the ability to directly inspect and screen the rest of the liver and the entire abdominal cavity.
3.5.6 Argon plasma coagulation
Argon plasma coagulation is used to create a coagulated tissue surface (mainly the transected liver surface) by passing electric current through a stream of ionized argon gas. High-flow infusion of argon gas can increase intra­abdominal pressure and has been reported as a risk factor for developing gas embolism in laparoscopic surgery [11]. For this reason, argon plasma coagulation should be used with caution, if at all, on visceral organs in laparoscopic surgery. A significant risk stems from injecting insoluble argon gas into an inadvertently opened hepatic vein during laparoscopic liver surgery with potentially fatal gas embolism.
3.6 Nonenergy devices
A significant number of specialized instruments are avail­able for advanced laparoscopic HPB surgery with various features for a variety of preferences. Instruments fre­quently used in laparoscopic HPB surgery are discussed here.
3.6.1 Bipolar forceps
A bipolar forceps is an instrument with forceps properties but also the ability to deliver bipolar energy, as discussed in the previous section. Among the wide variety of bipolar forceps available in laparoscopic surgery, the one with wide and fenestrated tips (CEV 134, Medtronic MicroFrance, Dublin, Ireland) (Figure 3.22, upper) is most frequently used for HPB procedures. The tips open and close while keeping the jaws parallel to each other. Therefore, the closing pressure is equally distributed to the tissue between the tips. This mode of action works efficiently in tissue dissection, clamping of an

injured vessel, secure coagulation, and tissue retraction with atraumatic but high grasping force. Liver parenchyma can be transected s imilarly to the clamp crushing method [12]. For hemostasis of small vessel s or fine structures, a bipolar forceps with nonfenestrated thin tips is more suitable (see Figure 3.22, lower).
3.6.2 Grasper
Grasping forceps are designed for tissue manipulation with or without a locking mechanism (ratchet). Toothed forceps are used to retract tissue with a lower risk of tissue slippage but higher application of force. Forceps with broad and flat tips are capable of more gentle grasping with lower pressure per square unit. Among these types of forceps, those with a lower grasping power are pre­ferred because of their greater safety in preventing inad­vertent tissue damage. Such graspers release the tissue between the tips spontaneously when external force is applied, which avoids serious damage to the tissue (Figure 3.23, left). Forceps with fine tips allow for han­dling of delicate tissue, and those with curved tips and pointed ends are used for tissue dissection and in devel­oping a surgical plane (see Figure 3.23, right).

injury. Gentle retractionto achieve the small working field is required for safe manipulation and decreases the risk of traction injury, particularly in a fragile steatotic liver. It is one of the advantages of laparoscopic surgery that even in a narrow working field, an excellent view is achieved and the procedure can be completed.
3.6.3 Retractor
A retractor should be strong enough to retract the large and heavy liver while not perforating the liver capsule in the process. For this purpose, most laparoscopic retractors have a mechanism to alter their configuration after being inserted into the abdominal cavity (e.g. articulating triangular retractor [Figure 3.24] and balloon retractor [Figure 3.25]), with the goal of increasing the contact area between the tissue and instrument and decreasing the pressure per unit area on the tissue. When retracting delicate tissue using a grasper or dissector, placing gauze between the tissue and forcepscan help to increase friction for reliable retraction while decreasing the risk of tissue

Maple Grove, USA) has an inflatable balloon covered with a mesh. The balloon is deployed through a trocar and inflated once inside the abdominal cavity to retract delicate tissue or organs such as the spleen and liver gently and effectively.

inadvertent injury to large veins.
3.6.4 Vascular clamp
A vascular clamp is a forceps with atraumatic tips of Debakey forceps type (Figure 3.26, left). This is an essen­tial instrument for laparoscopic HPB surgery because it can be crucial in controlling intraoperative bleeding. Once temporal hemostasis is achieved by clamping the vessel, the surgeon can reorganize the operative field, add ports, and find a way to obtain durable hemostasis. (e.g. coagu­lating, clipping, stapling, suturing or application of hemo­static agents). When dividing a major hepatic vein (left, right or middle hepatic vein), placing a vascular clamp within reach of the staple site (see Figure 3.26, right) to control bleeding from an inadvertent venous tear during stapling or malfunction of the stapler is recommended. Another use of the forceps is to temporarily occlude a portal pedicle to demarcate its feeding liver.
A vessel occlusion clamp (Bulldog clamp) is used to temporarily occlude vascular flow atraumatically for bleeding control or for vascular reconstruction (e.g. wedge resection of the portal vein). This endoscopic clamp is applied and removed intracorporeally using a special laparoscopic applicator.
3.6.5 Suction and irrigation
Suction is one of the instruments most frequently used during laparoscopic surgery. The instrument should be equipped with a mechanism to start and stop aspiration easily and quickly so that the surgeon avoids unnecessary aspiration of intra-abdominal gas to maintain pneumo­peritoneum (Figure 3.27). Irrigation with water rather than normal saline can improve visualization of the operative field through lyzing of erythrocytes.
Figure 3.27 A suction instrument offers efficient aspiration of
blood or body fluid while maintaining intra-abdominal pressure and pneumoperitoneum for organ exposure and hemostatic effect.
3.6.6 Needle holder and suture
Laparoscopic suturing is technically challenging but is an essential part of advanced HPB surgery. Suturing and ligation are performed during reconstructive procedures in laparoscopic HPB surgery (e.g. creation of gastrojejunal, hepaticojejunal or pancreatico-digestive tract anastomo­ses). However, it is also critical for the management of complications (e.g. closure of a bowel tear or a vascular injury) and may prevent conversion to open surgery in some cases. Safe management of complications during advanced HPB surgery or advanced reconstruction relies on mastering the challenge of intracorporeal suturing.
A variety of needle holder designs with several handle configurations is available, such as pistol, fingered or palm (Figure 3.28) grip, according to surgeon preference. Curved, straight, and grooved tips are available; the
42 Chapter 3

grooved tip automatically orients the needle perpendicu­lar to the needle holder, which facilitates the suturing process. JAiMY (EndoControl, Grenoble, France), a 5 mm motorized articulating laparoscopic needle holder (Figure 3.29), is designed to allow for greater flexibility of movement with increased degrees of freedom (flexion of the shaft and rotation of the jaw). Robotic systems have increased degrees of freedom of the arms and conse­quently enable more flexible instrumental movement which can facilitate creation of challenging anastomoses.
A pre-tied slip-knot prepared at the beginning of the case (Figure 3.30) saves time and effort in making the first knot intracorporeally, which is especially useful in achiev­ing quick hemostasis in case of bleeding. Thus, several sets of needled sutures with a pre-tied knot can be prepared at the beginning of the case, as they are rapidly needed when hemorrhage occurs. Usually, a 20 cm suture equipped with nondetachable needle is used. A barbed suture is a

suture that does not requirea knot at the end. The barbs on its surface penetrate the tissue and lock it into place, therefore eliminating the need for a knot. An Endoloop (Ethicon, New Jersey, USA) is a ready-to-use pretied ligation device with the disadvantage that only a limited number of suture types are available.
3.6.7 Surgical clip
Clips are used toocclude vesselsor bile ducts prior to division to prevent bleeding or biliary leakage. Clips are made of titanium or polymer in a variety of clip sizes. Applicationof a clip to a vessel at a 90° angle with a sufficient length of vessel cuff can prevent clip slippage. Further, a polymer clip with a self-locking mechanism suchas Hem-o-lok (Weck, Teleflex, Morrisville, USA) (Figure 3.31) is less likely to slip, and division can occur flushwiththeclip.

holder.
Figure 3.31 A polymer ligation clip with a self-locking
mechanism is less likely to slip and seems to be more secure.

It is important to apply the proper clip size for the vessel diameter; applying a small clip to a thick vessel creates the risk of the clip opening because the force of the clip closing is increased beyond the design capacity of the clip. Apply­ing too large a clip to too thin a vessel increases the risk of slippage as a result of low compression pressure. For the splenic artery, splenic vein, and other portal branches, 10 mm clips are generally applied.
Previously applied clips may interfere with the appli­cation of additional clips (e.g. clip on clip) or later stapling. A common problem in laparoscopic HPB surgery is clip slippage on small hepatic vein branches as the surgeon progresses further cranial with the caval dissection, acci­dentally knocking clips off the vessel. Therefore, some surgeons perform thermal sealing only on thin hepatic vein branches off the inferior vena cava.
3.7 Endoscopic stapler
Endoscopic linear staplers occupy an important position in laparoscopic HPB surgery. Secure hemostasis can be achieved or an anastomosis rapidly fashioned without the need for lengthy suturing (Figure 3.32). Linear staplers generate at least two rows (three rows in newer genera­tion staplers) of staples on each side of the transected tissue. The staplers are loaded with disposable cartridges of various lengths (30–60 mm) containing staples of vari­ous heights (2.0–5.0 mm) for use in different tissue
thicknesses. The major hepatic veins are commonly divided using a vascular load cartridge with staples of
2.0 or 2.5 mm in height which produce tissue compres­sion to 0.75–1.0 mm. When dividing major hepatic veins at their origin, surgeons should be careful not to apply shear forces (especially pulling force) to the vessel during firing, to prevent vascular tears in a major hepatic vein or the inferior vena cava itself. Stabilization of the shaft of the stapler by an assistant can minimize shear forces during the stapling and division process. A thick portal pedicle and liver parenchyma (e.g. left lateral sectionec­tomy) can be divided using a cartridge with 2.5–3.5 mm staples. The pancreatic body and stomach can be trans­ected using a cartridge with 3.5–4.8 mm staples. When using staples for dividing or anastomosing thick tissue, the tissue should be compressed between the jaws for more than 10 seconds to achieve proper tissue approximation for secure hemostasis or anastomosis.
Applying staples that are too long for thin tissue or too short for thick tissue carries a risk of bleeding as a result of insufficient tissue compression or tissue dehiscence due to improper interlock.
3.8 Tissue removal bag
A tissue bag is used for removal of specimens, to prevent spillage of tumor cells or infected tissue, and to decrease the risk of tumor implantation or surgical site infection.

44 Chapter 3
The bag is inserted through a port site and removed through a suprapubic incision or enlarged port incision. Small specimens can be removed in the bag through a 12 mm port.
3.9 Hemostatic agent
In minimally invasive liver surgery, prevention of bleed­ing through meticulous dissection and pre-emptive iden­tification of vascular structures are critical. However, once a vascular injury and consequent bleeding occur, local compression with gauze introduced into the abdominal cavity can allow the anesthesia team to prepare for further blood loss and bring devices for permanent hemo­stasis (bipolar cautery, vascular clamp, endoscopic clip or stapler) to the site without excessive blood loss. The adjunctive use of topical hemostatic agents promotes hemostasis and enhances coagulation.
Moderate bleeding can be stopped by applying Surgicel Fibrillar (Ethicon, New Jersey, USA) (oxidized regener­ated cellulose) and compression to the bleeding site (Fig­ure 3.33, left). Even if simple compression is not sufficient to completely stop bleeding, it may slow it down and allow the surgeon to remove blood from the operative field for a brighter video image and for further blood loss to occur without obstructing the view of the injury. Temporizing measures allow identification of the bleeding site and consideration of a strategy for definitive hemostasis.
TachoSil (Nycomed, Zurich, Switzerland), a biologically active agent, is composed of a collagen sponge coated with human fibrinogen and thrombin, and it can be used for achieving secure hemostasis (see Figure 3.33, right) [13]. Liquid fibrin sealant is also used to stop diffuse bleeding from the liver transection surface. However, when apply­ing the fibrin sealant via a gas-charged applicator, devel­opment of air or gas embolism can be a concern [14].
When compression of the bleeding area with a sponge or laparoscopic instruments is insufficient, direct compression by the surgeon’s hand via conver­sion to a hand-assisted or open approach must be performed. Nevertheless, rapid conversion during hepaticveinbleedinginapatientwithlowcentral venous pressure can lead to fatal air embolism. There­fore, a significant amount of preparation to prevent bleeding and, when it occurs, techniques to control it should be in pla ce to avoid rapid conversion in the case of major hepatic vein bleeding. In complex liver resections, infl ow occlusion by temporarily clamping the hepatoduodenal lig ament (Pringle maneuver) is another useful option to decrease the amount of bleeding from the liver transection surface (Figure 3.34). The pneumoperitoneum itself, how­ever, provides a form of Pringle maneuver, and recently surgeons have experimented with raising the pneumoperitoneal pressure to 21 mmHg and higher to provide some form of inflow control during minimally invasive liver surgery.

KEY POINTS
• Optimal positionin g of laparoscopic monitors is essential to enhance procedural precision and speed as well as to reduce physical and mental stress on the surgical team. A dedicated minimally invasive surgery suite and special devices such as laparoscopic mounting devices and instrument stabilizers are helpful to maintain an optimal surgeon–equipment environment during advanced laparoscopic HPB procedures.
• Technological developments in imaging and electrosurgical devices greatly contribute to procedural safety and efficacy in laparoscopic HPB surgery. Up-to-date knowledge of new equipment and technologies is essential.
• Mastering laparoscopic suturing is a must for advanced minimally invasive HPB surgeons.
• Because of the possibility of significant blood loss during every laparoscopic HPB surgery, equipment, instruments, and agents
for the management of intraoperative bleeding are crucial and should be prepared prior to commencing the case.

EDITOR COMMENT
This chapter is a glimpse into the future of advanced laparoscopic HPB surgery. The authors, expert engineers of augmented reality guidance solutions, describe the critical steps that lead to clinically applicable augmented reality. Augmented reality ultimately is the supplementation of a real-world view with aligned real-time computer-generated information. The challenges of this supplementation attributable to pre- or intraoperative data acquisition, creation of a selective augmented reality, image overlay, and tracking are shown. Issues specific to laparoscopic HPB surgery, such as liver deformation and display of depth information, are explained in detail.Further, the authors show how augmented reality has the potential to improve spatial understanding and the localization of underlying anatomy or tumors. Our own experience with augmented reality suggests that this chapter is important for those HPB surgeons who are looking to see where the field of advanced laparoscopic HPB surgery is headed.

4.1 Introduction
Despite its obvious benefits for patients, laparoscopic surgery presents multiple inherent challenges. The lim­ited view of the two-dimensional (2D) laparoscopic image reduces depth perception and weakens spatial under­standing, making localization of anatomy and prediction of surgical margins more difficult than in open surgery. Additionally, the lack of tactile feedback and the separa­tion of visual feedback from the situs challenge the identification and manipulation of anatomical structures and greatly increase the required hand–eye coordination skills. Recent developments in high-resolution imaging and three-dimensional (3D) monitors have somewhat alleviated these problems but fail to provide a compre­hensive solution.
In recent decades, advances in computing have resulted in an increase in the quality and quantity of information that needs to be processed during surgery. Advances in image processing techniques such as the fusion of

multimodality imaging and structure segmentation have dramatically changed the way in which anatomy and target lesions are visualized; they have also changed the way in which surgeries are planned. The combination of medical image visualization techniques, preoperative planning, and surgical guidance has led to an increasing reliance on image guidance and computer assistance during a wide range of surgeries. While surgical guidance technologies were initially designed for use in surgeries on fixed anatomy such as neurosurgery, paranasal sinus surgery, and orthopedic surgery [1], solutions designed for soft tissue surgeries have recently become commer­cially available [2].
Surgeries can now be planned and visualized prior to surgery via 3D virtual representations of the patient anatomy and analyzed quantitatively using dedicated software. Measurements of volume, planning of resection margins, assessment of distances to anatomical struc­tures, and functional parameters such as liver volumes can be evaluated preoperatively. This information can
47

then be used to determine surgical approaches that opti­mize clinical outcome and improve patient safety. Intra­operatively, stereotactic and image guidance technologies allow virtual surgical reality to be viewed interactively with precise capturing of surgical tools in 3D space. This information provides guidance beyond the mental rep­resentation traditionally relied on by surgeons.
Image guidance has the potential to alleviate many challenges currently facing laparoscopic surgeons. How­ever, the display of increasing amounts of information in the operating room presents its own challenges. How shall we visualize information in a way that is useful, intuitive, and minimally distracting to the surgeon? Further, in laparoscopic surgery, where the surgeon relies on the operating monitor for visual input, the addition of new imaging information might draw the sight and attention away from potentially critical information being displayed via the traditional laparoscopic view (Figure 4.1).
Augmented reality (AR) enhances the surgeon’s view by allowing additional information to be presented to the surgeon without the need for diversion of sight away from the patient. In this context, AR provides a useful solution to the fusion of multiple imaging sources, allowing lapa­roscopic surgery to benefit from the advantages of image guidance already offered in other surgical domains.
In this chapter, important concepts and principles of AR and image guidance for laparoscopic surgery are pre­sented in detail. The purpose of AR and how it is achieved are discussed and recent live experiences with augmented reality laparoscopic hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) sur­gery are reviewed. Finally, challenges pertaining to the
realization of optimal AR solutions are described, along with a discussion of current research topics and a vision of the future role AR is likely to play in laparoscopic HBP surgery.
4.2 Augmented reality
Augmented reality is defined as the augmentation or supplementation of a real-world view with real-time computer-generated information that is registered to the real-world scene. AR gives the viewer an alternative perception of the depicted scene which encompasses real and virtual environments; this augments the classic view of the world and ensures additional feedback. Augmen­tation can utilize any sense; thus it can be delivered in the form of visual feedback, haptic feedback, or audial feed­back. Historically, however, augmentation data have been displayed visually and, in the context of image­guided surgery, typically onto a monitor, using transpar­ent layers or directly onto the patient surface using projection devices. Medical AR consists primarily of 3D reconstructions of physical objects (e.g. a virtual organ displayed onto the laparoscopic video stream) or textual or symbolic information (e.g. patient-specific informa­tion, geometric calculations or guidance for performing a particular procedure) overlaid at the same perspective as the scene of interest.
Three-dimensional anatomical representations allow structures of interest such as vessels and tumors to be viewed in an intuitive way, allowing the user to analyze
Figure 4.1 Surgical guidance data traditionally displayed on a monitor of other surgical domains are less suited to laparoscopic
surgery because of the need for attention on a secondary monitor displaying laparoscopic images.
