Augmented reality for basic skills training in laparoscopic surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Augmented reality (AR) has emerged as a transformative technology in medical education, particularly in training basic laparoscopic skills. Despite its growing applications, the effectiveness of AR in this specific domain remains underexplored, with a lack of standardized assessment frameworks and inconsistent methodologies across studies. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of AR in laparoscopic basic skills training for medical students and junior physicians.

Methods

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines. Databases searched included PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov. Studies were selected based on their focus on AR applications in laparoscopic
