“…According to this report, 3D hologram of the bone can be easily created with a precise model, thus, indicating that the hologram especially proves beneficial in cases where the tumor is surrounded by a predominantly bony anatomy. In otolaryngological cases, tumors often exist near bony anatomy of complex shapes, such as the facial bone and the temporal bone, or important structures such as cranial nerves 9,10 and main vessels like carotid artery, 11 and the surgical approach for such tumors is difficult. Therefore, the intuitive understanding by case‐specific 3D holograms is considered helpful for such otolaryngological cases.…”

Objective We report our first experience of using a case‐specific three‐dimensional (3D) hologram for tumor resection in otolaryngology to show the proof of concept. In addition, a questionnaire was administered to assess the usefulness of the mixed reality technique in otolaryngology. Methods A case‐specific 3D hologram was developed from enhanced images of dynamic computed tomography, with reference to contrast‐enhanced magnetic resonance images, and used for preoperative planning and intraoperative image reference. To evaluate the usefulness of the 3D hologram with head mount displays (HMDs), 18 attendings and resident otolaryngologists completed a questionnaire with the Likert scale. Results The case‐specific 3D hologram on HMDs was successfully used by means of easy gesture‐handling without any monitors preoperatively and intraoperatively. The experience of picturing the tumor localization and evaluating the surgical approach was statistically better using the 3D hologram on HMDs than using the computer images (P < .01). Similarly, the holograms were observed to be better for intraoperative application and surgical education than computer images (P < .01). Conclusion We demonstrated the use of a case‐specific 3D hologram for tumor resection in otolaryngology. The technology may be useful for preoperative planning and intraoperative image reference, especially for challenging cases, and surgical education. Level of Evidence NA.
