[Liver Surgery 4.0 - Planning, Volumetry, Navigation and Virtual Reality]. / Leberchirurgie 4.0 - OP-Planung, Volumetrie, Navigation und Virtuelle Realität.

Due to the optimisation of conservative treatment, the improvement of imaging methods and the continuous development of surgical techniques, the borders of resectability in liver surgery have changed significantly in recent decades.Thanks to numerous technical developments, in particular three-dimensional segmentation, preoperative planning and orientation during the operation itself, can now be facilitated, especially in complex procedures.New technologies such as 3D printing as well as virtual and augmented reality offer additional display options for the patients' individual anatomy. Various intraoperative navigation options are intended to make preoperative planning available in the operating room in order to increase patient safety.This review article is intended to provide an overview of the current state of available technologies and an outlook into the operating theatre of the future.
