How Holograms and VR Improve Surgery

  • Summary

  • The first mixed-reality-navigated shoulder replacement surgery in the U.S. took place in early 2024. Specialized technologies were used to create a customized life-size hologram of the patient’s joint and plan the position of the replacement implants. Listen to how mixed reality improves surgical precision and may reduce complications and improve patient recovery. Featured experts include the surgeon who performed this very first surgery: Dr. Sanchez-Sotelo, Division Chair Shoulder & Elbow Surgery at Mayo Clinic; and ​​​​Jean Chaoui, VP of Clinical Applications and Solutions, Digital, Robotics and Enabling Technologies at Stryker.
