Abstract: The authors describe the first surgical case adopting the combination of real-time augmented reality and wearable computing devices such as Google Glass (Google Inc, Mountain View, California). A 66-year-old man presented to their institution for a total shoulder replacement after 5 years of progressive right shoulder pain and decreased range of motion. Throughout the surgical procedure, Google Glass was integrated with the Virtual Interactive Presence and Augmented Reality system (University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama), enabling the local surgeon to interact with the remote surgeon within the local surgical field. Surgery was well tolerated by the patient and early surgical results were encouraging, with an improvement of shoulder pain and greater range of motion. The combination of real-time augmented reality and wearable computing devices such as Google Glass holds much promise in the field of surgery.

TL;DR: DVSS was found to be associated with fewer Heller myotomy-related perforations, a more rapid intestinal recovery time after gastrectomy—and therefore a shorter hospital stay, a short hospital stay following cholecystectomy, and longer colorectal resection surgery times, and a larger number of conversions to open surgery during gastric bypass.

Learning curves and impact of previous operative experience on performance on a virtual reality simulator to test laparoscopic surgical skills.
TL;DR: Different learning curves existed for surgeons with different laparoscopic background, and differences indicate that the scoring system of MIST-VR is sensitive and specific to measuring skills relevant for Laparoscopic surgery.
