Realidad mixta en Hololens 2 como sistema de asistencia intraoperatoria en cirugía de escoliosis idiopática del adolescente: un caso clínico.

Virtual reality has been one of the main technological revolutions in trauma in the last decade. This allows us to perform intraoperative assistance in a simple way, without the use of physical anchors and with a quick and accessible image preparation process. We present the use of this technology in surgical assistance for the correction of the deformity in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Material and methods: using C++ code and the Unity platform, a virtual planning tool was generated and the optimal positioning and size of the implants were designed at the apex of the deformity. Subsequently, the image was fixed in the ptaient and the holographic image was used for surgical assistance. Results: the positioning and size of the implants were identical to those planned using this technology. The planning time was low and the surgeon's satisfaction was high regarding the practicality of its use and the result obtained. Conclusions: virtual reality is a simple technology that allows improving intraoperative assistance in spinal surgery, this being one of the first cases described for its intraoperative use.
