Abstract:
The virtual reality (VR) is an application in which people can interact each other with their own avatars. Metaverse has already been tested in numerous medical fields and health care as telemedicine, second opinion and remote discussion, but in surgery some fundamental concepts are not yet very widespread. In this study, we want to show our surgery and workshop experiences in the Metaverse to demonstrate the safety and efficiency of this new technology in surgery, in particular for telementoring and remote surgery, combining artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR) and VR.
