A method for performing a surgical procedure includes generating, by a computing device, an anatomical map of a patient from a plurality of images； positioning a trocar obturator adjacent to the patient； calculating, by the computing device, a projected path of the trocar obturator； overlaying, by the computing device, the projected path of the trocar obturator with the anatomical map of the patient； and displaying the projected path of the trocar obturator and the anatomical map of the patient on a display device to define an augmented image.
