Although the era of precise minimally invasive robotic surgery has arrived, currently used imaging techniques still cannot meet the needs of optimal surgical planning and intraoperative navigation for urinary malignancy. Three dimensional (3D) virtual reconstruction based on 2D cross-sectional imaging can help surgeons understand the anatomy of different individuals. Many urologists have applied this method to the treatment of prostate cancer, and have superimposed 3D models on human body structure to realize augmented reality. This paper reviews the application of augmented reality in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, and prospects the application of cross-fusion of augmented reality and surgery.
