Area of Science:

  • Medical Technology
  • Surgical Robotics
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Traditional user interfaces for robot-assisted surgery rely on 2D monitors, separating surgeons from the operating site.
  • Augmented reality (AR) offers a more immersive experience by overlaying virtual data onto the real surgical scene.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To integrate AR into an orthopaedic surgical robot's workflow.
  • To evaluate the impact of AR on surgical procedure completion time and operating surface roughness.
  • To assess surgeon usability and comfort with the AR system.

Main Methods:

  • Replicated an existing surgical robot's UI within an AR head-mounted display.
  • Enabled simultaneous viewing of the operating site and real-time holographic data.
  • Recruited ten surgeons to test the AR system during robot-assisted patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA).

Main Results:

  • No significant changes in operating time (mean increase of +0.778 s, p=0.488).
  • No significant changes in mean surface roughness (p=0.274).
  • Positive surgeon feedback on usability, with no reported eyestrain or fatigue.

Conclusions:

  • AR successfully integrated into robot-assisted surgery without adverse effects on key performance metrics.
  • The AR system demonstrated positive user-centric and ergonomic evaluation outcomes.
  • AR enhances surgical workflows by providing intuitive, co-located information.
