The talk explored the integration of augmented reality (AR) in gynecological surgery. Driven by a minimal invasive surgery specialist's interest, the talk highlights AR's potential in training surgeons and enhancing surgical procedures. Virtual reality (VR) has already proven valuable in gynecological training, leading to the adoption of virtual environments for surgical skill development. AR involves merging computer-generated environments with the real world, enabling surgeons to create 3D models of patients' uteruses for pre-operative planning. There is a software, successfully tested in 60 patients, that detects myomas and aids in complex cases like endometriosis and cancer. AR solutions objectively assess cancer stages during surgery, promoting precision and thorough exploration. Dr. Eleni Karatrasoglou underscored their dedication to advancing gynecologic surgery through research, collaboration, and technological innovation.
