Telestration with augmented reality in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) and Robotic-Assisted Surgery (RAS) offer advantages over open surgery, including smaller incisions and quicker recovery. However, the learning curve in MIS and RAS presents several challenges, primarily due to their reliance on verbal instructions. MIS and RAS training is continually evolving, with new educational and simulation models emerging in recent years. Telestration, combined with augmented reality (AR), enables annotating videos and images as active feedback during surgery. These modalities have been used in the operating room to highlight anatomical structures, aiding visual communication and reinforcing verbal communication in MIS and RAS. This study aimed to provide a scoping review of the use, current applications, and develo
