Mixed reality (MR) enhances surgeon performance and reduces effort during radical endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET). This technology shows potential for improving safety in ET procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Medical Technology
  • 3D Visualization

Background:

  • Radical endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET) provides cosmetic benefits but carries risks due to thyroid anatomy.
  • Mixed reality (MR) offers real-time holographic visualization for surgical planning and navigation.
  • Current ET techniques face challenges with visibility and potential complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate the efficacy of MR-assisted radical ET.
  • To assess the impact of MR on surgical outcomes and surgeon experience.
  • To explore MR's potential in improving ET safety and performance.

Main Methods:

  • Semi-automatic 3D reconstruction of neck anatomy from CT images using 3Dslicer.
  • Creation of virtual holograms in Unity3D for display on MR helmet-mounted displays (HMDs).

  • Randomized controlled trial comparing MR-assisted ET with conventional ET.

    • Main Results:

    • The MR group reported significantly higher 'Own Performance' and lower 'Effort' scores (NASA Task Load Index).
    • Subjective evaluation scores on the Likert scale exceeded 3 for all questions in the MR group.
    • While the MR group had fewer complications, the difference in surgical outcomes was not statistically significant.

    Conclusions:

    • MR technology aids in developing 3D neck models and virtual holograms for surgical guidance.
    • MR enhances surgeon performance and reduces perceived workload during radical ET.
    • MR shows promise for increasing the safety and efficiency of endoscopic thyroidectomy.
