Towards Patient-Specific Deformable Registration in Laparoscopic Surgery

ArXi:2604.13186v1 Announce Type: new Unsafe surgical care is a critical health concern, often linked to limitations in surgeon experience, skills, and situational awareness. Integrating patient-specific 3D models into the surgical field can enhance visualization, provide real-time anatomical guidance, and reduce intraoperative complications. However, reliably registering these models in general surgery remains challenging due to mismatches between preoperative and intraoperative organ surfaces, such as deformations and noise. To overcome these challenges, we
