“…Surgical skills must be maintained for all CMOs, assistants, and crew. A virtual-reality (VR) [73,74] and augmented-reality (AR) [75,76] simulator can be useful in achieving this target [71], as has been demonstrated by experiments on Earth in some surgical disciplines [73][74][75][76][77].…”

In the coming years, missions to the Moon and Mars shall be the new goals of space flight. The complexity of these missions due to the great distance from Earth and the unforeseen obstacles to settle on another planet have given rise to great concerns for crew health and survival. The need for advanced crew autonomy and a different approach to surgical emergency require new protocols and devices to help future crew medical officers and other crew members in a task of unprecedented difficulty. Hence, the increasing variety of schedules, devices, and protocols being developed. A serious health problem, such as an emerging surgical disease or severe trauma, can jeopardize the mission and survival of the entire crew. Many other difficulties are present in deep-space missions or settlements on other planets, such as communication and supply, also medical, delays, and shortage, and the presence of radiation. Progress in advanced technologies as well as the evolution of robotic surgery and the use of artificial intelligence are other topics of this review. In this particular area of research, even if we are still very far from an “intelligent robot”, this evolution must be evaluated in the light of legislative and ethical considerations. This topic was presented at the annual meeting of the American College of Surgeons—Italy Chapter in 2021.

“…AR provides surgeons with a 3d virtual model for the surgical field (Fida et al, 2018) and (Ayoub & Pulijala, 2019). Virtual and Augmented and Reality (VR/AR) are used in surgery on pre-operation planning and surgeon's training (Halabi et al,2020), (Joda et al, 2019), (Farronato et al, 2019), and (Towers et al, 2019). AR is used in complex and sensitive surgical fields such as heart, kidney, brain, pelvis, thoracic, artery, and jaw surgeries through a video display, seethrough or transparent display, and projection-based display (Suenaga et al, 2015) (Suenaga et al, 2013), (Murugesan et al, 2018), and (Tanji et al, 2022).…”

In medicine and healthcare, augmented reality (AR) has been used by physicians during surgical procedures. It has provedhelpful in preoperative planning and procedure navigation by allowing them to display in-depth information and visualizedetails in real time during surgery, prioritizing patient safety and healthcare. Due to the critical nature of surgical procedures,extreme accuracy is required when using ar technology to maintain patients' health. A few years ago, ar faced severalchallenges and limitations in surgeries, such as noise in real-time images, cutting errors, navigation errors, wrong implantplacement, overlay errors, navigating narrow areas, geometric accuracy limitations, image alignment, image registration,and occlusion handling. This paper reviews several recently published articles exploring ar technology usage in jaw andknee replacement surgery, focusing on identifying the newest technologies, methods, and solutions for the abovementionedlimitations. Based on data collected from the published papers, the results were compared for each problem solved in eacharticle regarding accuracy and processing time.

“…Predicting treatment outcomes utilizing pre‐ and post‐ablation scans with image fusion methods has shown promising results recently due to the clinical significance of an instantaneous post‐procedural analysis 11,30,31 . Novel imaging techniques have emerged in recent years that rely on image fusion to assess therapeutic outcomes, which can be visualized with the aid of mixed‐ and augmented reality platforms 32 . Such an implementation enables clinicians to evaluate the therapeutic response immediately post‐ablation and carry out immediate retreatment, if necessary.…”

Background: Percutaneous thermal ablation has become the preferred therapeutic treatment option for liver cancers that cannot be resected. Since ablative zone tissue changes over time, it becomes challenging to determine therapy effectiveness over an extended period. Thus, an immediate post-procedural evaluation of the ablation zone is crucial, as it could influence the need for a second-look treatment or follow-up plan. Assessing treatment response immediately after ablation is essential to attain favorable outcomes. This study examines the efficacy of image fusion strategies immediately post-ablation in liver neoplasms to determine therapeutic response.Methodology: A comprehensive systematic search using PRISMA methodology was conducted using EMBASE, MEDLINE (via PUBMED), and Cochrane Library Central Registry electronic databases to identify articles that assessed the immediate post-ablation response in malignant hepatic tumors with fusion imaging (FI) systems. The data were retrieved on relevant clinical characteristics, including population demographics, pre-intervention clinical history, lesion characteristics, and intervention type. For the outcome metrics, variables such as average fusion time, intervention metrics, technical success rate, ablative safety margin, supplementary ablation rate, technical efficacy rate, LTP rates, and reported complications were extracted.Results: Twenty-two studies were included for review after fulfilling the study eligibility criteria. FI's immediate technical success rate ranged from 81.3% to 100% in 17/22 studies. In 16/22 studies, the ablative safety margin was assessed immediately after ablation. Supplementary ablation was performed in 9 studies following immediate evaluation by FI. In 15/22 studies, the technical effectiveness rates during the first follow-up varied from 89.3% to 100%.
