Systems and methods for visually indicating drilled hole position in endoscopic procedures

A method for determining a position of a hole drilled in tissue of internal anatomy of a patient by a drill bit disposed within a drill guide, the method comprising, at a computing system:

• receiving at least one endoscopic image that captures at least a distal portion of a shaft of the drill guide;
• identifying in the at least one endoscopic image at least one fiducial marker disposed on the distal portion of the shaft of the drill guide;
• determining a position and orientation of the at least one fiducial marker;
• determining that the drill bit drilled the hole in the tissue;
• and
• determining the position of the hole based on the position and orientation of the at least one fiducial marker.

A system for determining a position of a hole drilled in tissue of internal anatomy of a patient by a drill bit disposed within a drill guide, the system comprising one or more processors, memory, and one or more programs stored in the memory and including instructions for execution by the one or more processors for:

• receiving at least one endoscopic image that captures at least a distal portion of a shaft of the drill guide;
• identifying in the at least one endoscopic image at least one fiducial marker disposed on the shaft of the drill guide;
• determining a position and orientation of the at least one fiducial marker;
• determining that the drill bit drilled the hole in the tissue;
• and
• determining the position of the hole based on the position and orientation of the at least one fiducial marker.
