Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Technology
  • Computer-Assisted Surgery

Background:

  • Traditional surgical training methods face limitations in providing realistic and safe learning environments.
  • Augmented reality (AR) technology offers potential for immersive and interactive surgical education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and update the current applications of augmented reality (AR) in surgical training.
  • To compare the benefits of AR-based surgical training with traditional techniques.

Main Methods:

  • A PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) strategy guided the systematic search.
  • Searches were conducted in MEDLINE, CENTRAL, and Google Scholar up to September 12, 2019.
  • A total of 236 results were screened, with 18 studies selected for final inclusion across various surgical disciplines.

Main Results:

  • Augmented reality (AR) technology demonstrated favorable outcomes in competency, surgical opinion, and reduced postoperative complication rates.
  • Operative duration was observed to increase with the use of AR in surgical training.
  • Data heterogeneity precluded a meta-analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Augmented reality (AR) presents a valuable tool for enhancing surgical training by improving key performance indicators.
  • Further research is needed to optimize AR integration and address potential increases in operative time.
