User story
Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) works through very small anatomical corridors, reducing tissue damage and recovery time. This also limits orientation: the operative field is narrow, depth perception constrained, and landmarks may be obscured. The learning curve, especially for younger surgeons, is steep.

Sentinel lymph node biopsy offers a less invasive alternative to full lymphadenectomy in endometrial cancer, reducing complications while maintaining diagnostic accuracy. In a study from Shiga University of Medical Science, augmented and mixed reality technologies helped the surgical team accurately perceive the three-dimensional relationships between lymph nodes and surrounding critical structures.

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.
