Area of Science:

Neurosurgery
Medical Technology
Spatial Computing

Background:

Extended reality (XR) systems are transforming neurosurgery.
Integrating XR into the intraoperative environment is a novel frontier.
This study explores XR integration in neurosurgical operating rooms (ORs) for spatial computing and improved ergonomics.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the integration of XR systems into neurosurgical ORs.
To leverage spatial computing capabilities for enhanced surgical procedures.
To improve surgical ergonomic conditions for neurosurgeons.

Main Methods:

Analysis of 3 neurosurgical cases using the Medivis surgical augmented reality (AR) platform.
Utilized a Microsoft HoloLens for real-time overlay of 3D volumes and exoscopic/endoscopic outputs.
Captured and streamed surgical outputs to the AR system for surgeon interaction.

Main Results:

XR enhanced precision and visualization through real-time 3D imaging overlay.
The AR platform with HoloLens integrated spatial computing, improving OR ergonomics and sight lines.
All patients experienced successful recovery without postoperative complications.

Conclusions:

Wearable XR systems are valuable tools for neurosurgical procedures.
XR enhances surgical precision, visualization, and ergonomics.
Integrating XR into the OR mitigates risks and improves patient outcomes.
