Dynamic Augmented Reality Cues for Telementoring in Minimally Invasive Surgeries: Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Remote surgeons use telementoring technologies to provide real-time guidance during minimally invasive surgeries (MIS). Such technologies are continuously improving with the integration of dynamic augmented reality (AR) cues. This includes virtual overlays of hand gestures, pointers, and surgical tools onto the operating surgeon's view. The operating surgeon comprehends this augmented information to operate on the patient. Thus, understanding these dynamic AR cues (either during surgical training or live surgery) is crucial.

Objective

In this paper, we aimed to review the existing telementoring technologies that use dynamic AR cues during MIS. This review describes the MIS (including surgery type, specialty, procedure, and clinical trial), the telementoring system
