Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) have developed unprecedentedly in recent years, providing interesting opportunities for medical applications. Their integration into clinical assessment, surgical workflow, and training has shown tremendous potential to improve daily life activity in spine surgery. The paper explores the utilization of VR and AR in spine surgery, with their applications, benefits, challenges, and forthcoming prospects.
