Zusammenfassung:In a system and method for determining guide points or a guide path for display on an endoscopic display, image data corresponding to a surgical treatment site is captured using a camera. Using the image data, the positions of one or more reference points within the surgical environment, are determined. Based on the positions of the reference points, the positions of guide points spaced from the reference point are estimated or determined, in some cases using predetermined offsets. The guide points or guide path is displayed as an overlay of the image data on an image display. In an embodiment using the system for a sleeve gastrectomy procedure, the reference points are input by a user or determined by the system with reference to a bougie that has been positioned within a stomach at the operative site, and the guide path is used as a guide for stapling and resection to form the sleeve.
