Use of Augmented Reality for Training Assistance in Laparoscopic Surgery: Scoping Literature Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Laparoscopic surgery training is a demanding process requiring technical and nontechnical skills. Surgical training has evolved from traditional approaches to the use of immersive digital technologies such as virtual, augmented, and mixed reality. These technologies are now integral to laparoscopic surgery training.

Objective

This scoping literature review aimed to analyze the current augmented reality (AR) solutions used in laparoscopic surgery training.

Methods

Following the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines, we conducted a scoping review using 4 databases: Scopus, IEEE Xplore, PubMed, and ACM. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to select relevant articles. E
