Abstract：
Augmented reality (AR) is a promising technology to enhance image guided surgery and represents the perfect bridge to combine precise virtual planning with computer-aided execution of surgical maneuvers in the operating room. In craniofacial surgical oncology, AR brings to the surgeon\'s sight a digital, three-dimensional representation of the anatomy and helps to identify tumor boundaries and optimal surgical paths. Intraoperatively, real-time AR guidance provides surgeons with accurate spatial information, ensuring accurate tumor resection and preservation of critical structures. In this paper, the authors review current evidence of AR applications in craniofacial surgery, focusing on real surgical applications, and compare existing literature with their experience during an AR and navigation guided craniofacial resection, to subsequently analyze which technological trajectories will represent the future of AR and define new perspectives of application for this revolutionizing technology.
摘要：
增强现实（AR）是增强图像引导手术的有前途的技术，代表了将精确的虚拟计划与手术室手术操作的计算机辅助执行相结合的完美桥梁。在颅面外科肿瘤学中，AR给外科医生带来了一个数字，解剖结构的三维表示，有助于确定肿瘤边界和最佳手术路径。术中,实时AR引导为外科医生提供准确的空间信息，确保准确的肿瘤切除和关键结构的保存。在本文中,作者回顾了目前在颅面外科中应用AR的证据，专注于真正的外科应用，并将现有文献与他们在AR和导航引导颅面切除术中的经验进行比较，随后分析哪些技术轨迹将代表AR的未来，并为这一革命性技术定义新的应用视角。
