“…In their review, Xu et al analyzed current surgical tracking systems, one of the most important technologies for MIS navigation, and evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of different solutions [ 29 ]. The problem of information loss is an inherent drawback of monomodal surgical navigation systems.…”

“…It is characterized by physical limitations, attenuation, signal dropouts, and unstable accuracy of tracking algorithms. The authors conclude that future research trends, such as the integration of AR for visualization during surgical tracking, will tend to ameliorate this problem [ 29 ].…”

“…While the studies discussed here indicate some potential of AR technology in the context of improving MIS navigation solutions [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ], current AR-guided navigation systems have not shown improved precision compared to conventional navigation methods, albeit shown improvements in ergonomics and visualization have been reported [ 38 ]. However, what has been clinically demonstrated to date is evidence of shorter operative times and less blood loss, suggesting a gentler surgical approach [ 33 , 40 ].…”

The purpose of this review was to analyze the evidence on the role of augmented reality (AR) in the improvement of minimally invasive surgical (MIS) procedures. A scoping literature search of the PubMed and ScienceDirect databases was performed to identify articles published in the last five years that addressed the direct impact of AR technology on MIS procedures or that addressed an area of education or clinical care that could potentially be used for MIS development. A total of 359 studies were screened and 31 articles were reviewed in depth and categorized into three main groups: Navigation, education and training, and user-environment interfaces. A comparison of studies within the different application groups showed that AR technology can be useful in various disciplines to advance the development of MIS. Although AR-guided navigation systems do not yet offer a precision advantage, benefits include improved ergonomics and visualization, as well as reduced surgical time and blood loss. Benefits can also be seen in improved education and training conditions and improved user-environment interfaces that can indirectly influence MIS procedures. However, there are still technical challenges that need to be addressed to demonstrate added value to patient care and should be evaluated in clinical trials with sufficient patient numbers or even in systematic reviews or meta-analyses.

“…As an integral part of visualization and perceptual interaction in XR, 3D reconstruction is increasingly used to create precise models of difficult-to-access objects or environments for preoperative planning [200][201][202], further enhancing the interaction precision and fidelity in the XR environment. However, its limitations such as time consumption, cost, and the effect of imaging conditions on model accuracy present challenges for microsurgery.…”

Microsurgical techniques have been widely utilized in various surgical specialties, such as ophthalmology, neurosurgery, and otolaryngology, which require intricate and precise surgical tool manipulation on a small scale. In microsurgery, operations on delicate vessels or tissues require high standards in surgeons’ skills. This exceptionally high requirement in skills leads to a steep learning curve and lengthy training before the surgeons can perform microsurgical procedures with quality outcomes. The microsurgery robot (MSR), which can improve surgeons’ operation skills through various functions, has received extensive research attention in the past three decades. There have been many review papers summarizing the research on MSR for specific surgical specialties. However, an in-depth review of the relevant technologies used in MSR systems is limited in the literature. This review details the technical challenges in microsurgery, and systematically summarizes the key technologies in MSR with a developmental perspective from the basic structural mechanism design, to the perception and human–machine interaction methods, and further to the ability in achieving a certain level of autonomy. By presenting and comparing the methods and technologies in this cutting-edge research, this paper aims to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the current state of MSR research and identify potential directions for future development in MSR.
