Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study was designed to confirm that the surgeon is able to perform surface registration of standard liver features used as landmarks during a scheduled laparoscopic liver procedure. Additionally, registrations will be obtained with full insufflation pressure and with half insufflation pressure during the laparoscopic procedure. Under the presence of both insufflation pressures, the surface of the liver will be manually swabbed with the study tracked laparoscopic probe with landmarks noted during data collection. After registration of the liver is obtained, the registration points obtained during this procedure will be evaluated by the surgeon by moving the tracked laparoscopic probe over the liver surface and evaluating the location of the tracked laparoscopic probe displayed on the guidance system 3D image. The surgeon will accept or reject the registration accuracy. Upon completion of the scheduled laparoscopic procedure, the subject will then undergo the open procedure scheduled for the surgical case. An open liver registration will be obtained with manual swabbing of the liver using the study tracked probe and will be accepted or rejected by the surgeon using the process described in the laparoscopic procedure. In the event that the disease is determined to be too great for surgical repair during the laparoscopic staging procedure, only minimally invasive liver surface data will be acquired and the patient will not be included in the overall study population.
