Stanford School of Medicine uses HoloLens AR medical solution to perform first spine surgery

(Nweon October 23, 2023) Surgical Theater, which focuses on combining XR immersive technology and medical solutions, recently announced that Stanford Medical School will use their developed augmented reality technology Surgical Theater SyncAR Spine and Microsoft HoloLens to conduct Performed the first spinal surgery.

Using Microsoft HoloLens and Surgical Theater SyncAR Spine, doctors can directly see various digital information critical to surgery in the market, and help doctors complete the surgical process more efficiently.

Gary Steinberg, a neurosurgeon at Stanford University School of Medicine, said: "Our collaboration with Surgical Theater not only enhances surgical visualization, but also ushered in a new era of care. In which patients will Be able to benefit from XR solutions that revolutionize surgical planning and execution.”

Atman Desai, professor of neurosurgery and director of neurosurgery spine oncology at Stanford University School of Medicine, added: “Seeing all relevant visual cues through Microsoft HoloLens while operating on a patient makes surgical procedures Doctors can focus on the surgical scene, thereby obtaining a more intuitive and precise surgical experience."

For this surgery, one of the key advantages brought by Microsoft HoloLens is the three-dimensional visualization of the tumor. Atman Desai further pointed out: "Being able to visualize the tumor in three dimensions and be able to plan the incision and accurately around the tumor Navigation, which is extremely valuable. The irregular shape of tumors poses a unique challenge that Surgical Theater technology helps overcome. Surgeons can now outline tumors and perform incisional surgeries with more precision and confidence.

Surgical Theater commented: "In the future, surgeons will use augmented reality and mixed reality headsets during every operation. This will completely change the way surgeons plan and perform surgeries."
