Abstract

Introduction: Augmented reality technology uses 3D reconstruction, visualization, registration and tracking techniques to create images from MRI data. It has three basic characteristics: combination of real and virtual worlds, real-time interaction and precise three-dimensional recording of virtual and real objects. The objective was to characterize AR as an accessory technology in surgery. Method: a total of 22 articles in Spanish and English were reviewed, from Pubmed, Scielo and Scopus; using as keywords: augmented reality, surgery, virtual reality, being more than 50 % of the last five years. Result: Although primarily used for training, this technique can be used for planning and navigation in the operating room; since the precision and complexity of the three-dimensional reconstructed images are crucial to providing the correct data in surgery. Its main advantage is the integration of sensations and real-time interaction of the doctor while its limitations include technological ones and those associated with the way of use by the staff. Medical education has benefited from the popularization of virtual reality as it reduces ethical conflicts and promotes self-learning. Conclusions: augmented reality systems combine the preoperative model with the intraoperative scenario to project images in real time, ensuring better results in terms of time, error rate and precision. Despite this, its use is not globalized and the available bibliography on its validity is insufficient.
