Mixed reality, alongside other spatial technologies, is increasingly adopted in medicine, particularly in surgery, where they contribute to improved clinical outcomes and enhanced patient safety. A recent literature review aimed to assess the role of mixed reality in surgical practice.
Read moreSpine surgery has always prioritized precision due to the complexity of spinal anatomy and the severe consequences of error. While surgeons have traditionally depended on refined tactile and visual skills, the growing complexity of modern spinal procedures has brought the need for more advanced visualization techniques.

Video-assisted thoracoscopy treats congenital cystic lung malformations while sparing healthy tissue, but surgeons need detailed patient-specific insights that 2D and 3D views often cannot provide. Researchers from Nanjing Medical University and Qinghai University used Medicalholodeck to create patient-specific 3D VR models, improving recognition and spatial understanding of complex anatomy.
