Real‐time computed tomography‐based augmented reality for natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery navigation

Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is technically challenging owing to endoscopic short‐sighted visualization, excessive scope flexibility and lack of adequate instrumentation. Augmented reality may overcome these difficulties. This study tested whether an image registration system for NOTES procedures (IR‐NOTES) can facilitate navigation.
