Mixed reality technology is new digital holographic imaging technology that generates three-dimensional simulation images through computers and anchors the virtual images to the real world. Compared with traditional imaging diagnosis and treatment methods, mixed reality technology is more conducive to the advantages of precision medicine, helps to promote the development of medical clinical application, teaching and scientific research in the field of orthopedics, and will further promote the progress of clinical orthopedics toward standardization, digitization and precision. This article briefly introduces the mixed reality technology, reviews its application in the perioperative period, teaching and diagnosis and treatment standardization and dataization in the field of orthopedics, and discusses its technical advantages, aiming to provide a reference for the better use of mixed reality technology in orthopedics.
Objective To investigate the method of single umbilical port laparoscopic cholecystectomy and its feasibility. Methods The clinical data of 46 patients receiving single port umbilical laparoscopic cholecystectomy in this hospital from December 2008 to February 2009 were analyzed retrospectively. Results Fourty-six cases were operated successfully with ordinary laparoscopic instruments by single umbilical port laparoscopic cholecystectomy, all without drainage placed. Operative time was from 40 to 130 min, average 52.3 min; bleeding was from 10 to 150 ml, average 40.6 ml. No complications, such as biliary leakage, hemorrhage, umbilical hernia and infection of incisional wound happened. Postoperative abdominal wall scar was not obvious, 1-4 d hospitalization, from 2 weeks to 3 months following-up without disconnecting of incision. Conclusions The single umbilical port laparoscopic cholecystectomy is safe and feasible, with little abdominal wall scar, but difficult to perform, so it can be applied in hospitals with related conditions as improvements of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
