Abstract
Systems for guiding placement of surgical ports on a body include an image capture device configured to capture an image of an operating environment and generate image data based on the captured image, a display device, and a computing device configured to obtain information regarding a location of a surgical site within the body, receive the image data from the image capture device, generate graphical guidance for placing a surgical port on the body based on the location of the surgical site within the body and the image data, and cause the display device to display the generated graphical guidance.
