“…Neurosurgery has always been at the forefront of incorporating technological advances to better surgical management, with the incorporation of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) in recent years [5,59,82]. 3-D AR and VR assist with complex neurosurgical procedures in training neurosurgeons, planning surgeries, and helping with patient recovery following the surgery, respectively through projection of virtual content in the real world and generating a 3-D environment where users can fully immerse themselves [5,82]. These two modalities have been used in multiple neurosurgical sub-specialties and have aided preoperative training and planning, surgical decision-making, intraoperative workflow, risk minimisation, postoperative clinical assessments, and rehabilitation [12, 17, 20, 30, 39-41, 45, 50, 57, 60, 63, 65, 66, 79, 89].…”
