Immersive technologies like augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), extended reality (XR), and mixed reality (MR) are revolutionizing surgical practice by enhancing visualization, precision, and training. AR overlays critical anatomical information during procedures, VR enables realistic surgical simulations for training, MR integrates real-world and digital objects for interactive guidance, and XR combines the spectrum of these experiences. These tools support preoperative planning, intraoperative navigation, and post-surgical assessments while minimizing human error. Their applications span across minimally invasive surgeries, orthopedics, neurosurgery, and education, fostering a more informed and confident surgical approach.
