    Minimally invasive surgery has evolved but still faces challenges, including the traditional four-port technique for cholecystectomy.

  • 2

    Three-dimensional visualization systems enhance depth perception and reduce operative time, improving surgical confidence and skill acquisition.

  • 3

    Augmented reality technology improves surgical performance by providing real-time guidance and reducing cognitive load during procedures.

  • 4

    The Magnetic-Assisted Robotic Surgery system reduces invasiveness by using magnetic retraction, allowing for fewer ports and independent operation.

  • 5

    Integrating MARS, 3D visualization, and augmented reality creates a unified platform that addresses multiple challenges in minimally invasive surgery.
