This article covers two aneurysm clipping cases highlighting the clinical benefits of GLOW800 Augmented Reality Fluorescence application in neurosurgery, based on insights from Prof. Tohru Mizutani, Chief Professor of the Department of Neurosurgery at Showa University Hospital (Japan). It shows how a neurosurgeon can visualize in 3D the real-time blood flow correlated with the anatomy in natural colour and with depth perception during aneurysm clipping and other complex neurosurgical techniques.

Corneal surgery is a highly specialized field. It requires great surgical precision to overcome challenges such as visualizing clearly the full anterior chamber, performing Descemet membrane peeling and endothelium procedures, measuring how deep to cut the corneal stroma, and quantifying the incision depth as well as avoiding damage to the donor tissue. Watch how Prof. Fontana uses real-time intraoperative OCT imaging during cornea transplantation procedures to enhance his surgical precision.

Intraoperative MRI is one form of real-time intraoperative visualization, but if more in-depth visualization to identify a tumor during surgery is wanted, intraoperative fluorescence diagnostics is available. In this article, we interviewed Professor Akihide Kondo about his clinical experience of glioma surgery with the GLOW400 Augmented Reality fluorescence application for brain tumor surgery from Leica Microsystems.
