Area of Science:

  • Medical Technology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Computer-Assisted Surgery

Background:

  • Augmented reality (AR) integrates computer graphics with the real world, enhancing visual feedback.
  • AR applications are increasingly common, with significant potential in medicine, particularly minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS).
  • AR navigation offers auditory and haptic feedback, augmenting surgeon capabilities and improving patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current and past applications of AR technology.
  • To explore the specific use of AR in minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS).
  • To identify limitations of current AR technology and outline future innovation areas.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
  • The review focused on AR applications across different technological generations.
  • Emphasis was placed on AR's role in spinal surgery.

Main Results:

  • AR systems are increasingly used in spinal surgery, presenting an alternative to conventional navigation techniques.
  • AR allows direct projection of patient anatomy onto the surgical field, reducing the need to shift focus from the operative site.
  • This technology mitigates issues like line-of-sight interruption and radiation exposure, crucial as MISS demand grows.

Conclusions:

  • Augmented reality (AR) represents a novel technology poised to advance spinal surgery.
  • Overcoming current limitations in AR technology will be critical for its future development and widespread adoption in surgical settings.
