At SURGAR, we believe that both surgeons and patients deserve access to the full potential of minimally invasive surgery. Yet many procedures remain limited by a simple fact: surgeons cannot see what lies beneath the surface.
SURGAR offers a unique augmented reality solution designed specifically for surgery involving mobile and deformable organs. Our technology enhances laparoscopic procedures by revealing the internal anatomy of abdominal organs in real-time, helping surgeons operate with more accuracy, safety, and confidence.
We envision a world where patients and surgeons both benefit from the precision, safety, and efficiency of computer-assisted surgery.
Our mission is to transform surgery with AI-powered augmented reality, delivering precision, safety, and access for every procedure.
From the research lab to the operating room.
SURGAR builds on the EnCoV research team’s expertise in computer vision, part of Institut Pascal and affiliated with the University Hospital of Clermont-Ferrand.
