Resection of thoracic meningioma with hoth augmented reality system: technical note and operative video.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Augmented Reality (AR) is an emerging technology in the field of neurosurgery. It allows surgeons to view three-dimensional (3D) patient anatomy overlaid onto the surgical field in real time. In this technical report, we describe the preoperative and intraoperative use of the Hoth AR system for resection of a thoracic meningioma.

Methods

Prior to surgery, the 3D model of the patient's tumor and surrounding anatomy is rendered from the patient's preoperative imaging, and it is uploaded into the AR headset. Once the patient is positioned in the operating room, registration is performed by tracing reference points on the skin while wearing the headset. The surgeon wears the headset while operating, and they can toggle on-off and transparency of each component of the
