Abstract Anatomical education is pivotal for medical students, and innovative technologies like augmented reality (AR) are transforming the field. This study aimed to enhance interactive features of AEducAR prototype, an AR tool developed by University Bologna, explore its impact on human anatomy learning process in 130 second‐year students at International School Medicine Surgery Bologna. An interdisciplinary team anatomists, maxillofacial surgeons, biomedical engineers, educational...
Clinical Practice Points•Three-dimensional (D) models can be used as additional preoperative tools to improve the understanding of size, location, depth a renal mass and vascular anatomy before robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN).•During RAPN, augmented reality (AR) technology with overlapping 3D inside robotic console, facilitate fast accurate anatomic identification vasculature tumor in real-time manner.•The 3D-guided approach AR during RAPN allows surgeon perform selective...
Background Medical simulations have emerged as a valuable tool in anatomical-medical training, allowing healthcare professionals to gain hands-on experience controlled and safe environment. One such simulation platform is SimLife®, which uses the Pulse for Practice (P4P) system enable realistic restoration of airflow (“re-ventilation”) blood flow (“revascularization”) bodies donated science. Objective This study aimed evaluate feasibility introducing SimLife® technology Italy. Additionally,...
to evaluate the impact of 3D model for a comprehensive assessment surgical planning and quality partial nephrectomy (PN).195 patients with cT1-T2 renal mass scheduled PN were enrolled in two groups: Study Group (n= 100), including referred revision both 2D computed tomography (CT) imaging model; Control group 95), CT imaging. Overall, 20 individuals switched radical (RN). The primary outcome was models-based on Trifecta achievement (defined as contemporary absence positive margin, major...
Oral cavity defects occur after resection of lesions limited to the mucosa, alveolar gum, or minimally affecting bone. Aiming at esthetical and functional improvements intraoral reconstruction, possibility harvesting a new galeo-pericranial free flap was explored. The objective this study assess technical feasibility through anatomical dissections surgical procedure simulations. Ten head neck specimens were dissected simulate technique evaluate vascular calibers temporal cervical vessels....
Augmented reality (AR) technology is increasingly adopted in the surgical field and recently it has been also introduced robotic-assisted urologic surgery. This work describes design development of an AR intraoperative guide system with stereoscopic visualization (SAR, augmented reality) for Da Vinci robot. As a major novelty, developed SAR allows surgeon to have virtual 3D model patient anatomy superimposed on real field, without losing view operative field. The workflow starts generation...
Background: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become the primary choice of treatment for abdominal aortic (AAA) and preventive intraoperative AAA sac embolization (SE) is an effective way to reduce endoleaks after EVAR. Preoperative planning SE not been standardized yet, typically requires a quite long operator-dependent procedure using standard EVAR software. Methods: We introduce ‘EVAR-eaSE’, software tool that we have developed help vascular surgeons plan optimal during EVAR,...
