Abstract
A tissue suturing guidance system includes an image capturing device, a display, and a processor in communication with the image capturing device and the display. The image capturing device is configured to capture a suture site. The display is configured to display an image of the suture site. The processor is configured to: determine, based on the image of the suture site, a geometric tissue representation of the suture site; access measured properties of the suture site; determine, based on the measured properties of the suture site, a biomechanical tissue representation of the suture site; and generate, based on the geometric tissue representation and biomechanical tissue representation of the suture site, a suturing configuration for the suture site.
