Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advancements in XR (Extended Reality) technology have been applied in the medical field, particularly in robot-assisted surgery with narrow fields of view.
This groundbreaking work explores the intersection of two of the most transformative technologies in modern medicine, extended reality (XR) and robotic surgery, thereby offering a fascinating insight into the future of surgical practice. In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare, the integration of advanced technologies is revolutionizing how we approach patient care. This Special Issue delves deep into the potential of extended reality—a spectrum that includes virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR)—as a key tool to enhance surgical precision and visualization in the field of robot-assisted surgery.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide surgeons, researchers, and healthcare professionals with a unique perspective of the modern use of XR in robot-assisted surgery and the potential it holds in the future. We sincerely hope this paper not only adds to your academic enrichment, but also inspires new innovations.
Dr. Dongheon Lee
