Abstract
Virtual Reality technology, when integrated with Surgical Digital Twins
(SDTs), offers significant potential in medical training and surgical planning.
We present SurgTwinVR, a VR application that immerses users within an SDT and
enables them to navigate a high-fidelity virtual replica of the surgical
environment. SurgTwinVR is the first VR application to utilize a dynamic 3D
environment that is a clone of a real surgery, encompassing the entire surgical
scene, including the surgeon, anatomy, and instruments. Our system utilizes a
SDT with important improvements for real-time rendering and features to
showcase the potential benefits of such an application in surgical education.
