Tashiro and colleagues demonstrated for the first time that an artificial intelligence system can precisely identify intrahepatic vascular structures during laparoscopic liver resection in real time through color coding under bleeding and indocyanine green fluorescent imaging. The system supports real-time navigation and offers potentially safer laparoscopic or robotic liver surgery.
