Abstract

Introduction: In this work, we aimed to explore the applicability of a mixed reality headset (MRH) in intraocular surgery and its potential benefits as an innovative telementoring model of surgical teaching.

Methods: A total of nine surgeries were performed. All surgeries were planned and performed with the aid of the Apple Vision Pro (Apple Inc., Cupertino, CA, USA) MRH integrated with multimodal imaging technology to provide a dynamic, detailed, real-time, all-in-one three-dimensional (3D) live visualization of surgical cases. A live connection between surgeons enabled real-time sharing of the surgical field. Feedback from surgeons and fellows, along with their satisfaction levels, was recorded to assess the applicability of this approach in intraocular surgery and surgical education.

Results: The integrated system proved to be an efficient all-in-one solution, demonstrating efficacy in surgical planning and keeping the surgeon informed throughout the procedure (> 8). No signal delay nor additional complications were detected in the real-time video feed, which allowed for uninterrupted guidance throughout the procedure. Both surgeons and fellows showed overall satisfaction and interest in the new model (> 8), appreciating the advantages in terms of knowledge gap filling, future perspective in surgical telementoring, and the possibility of application in surgical training.

Conclusions: Introducing an MRH in intraocular surgery provides an innovative and immersive visualization, leading to significant benefits in telementoring. This advancement opens new educational opportunities and could be a game-changer in the training of future ophthalmic surgeons.

新型混合现实耳机：首次在眼内手术和远程监控中的探索性应用。

在这项工作中，我们旨在探讨混合现实耳机（MRH）在眼内手术中的适用性及其作为一种创新的外科教学远程监控模式的潜在优势。方法：共9例手术。所有手术都是在Apple Vision Pro (Apple Inc., Cupertino， CA， USA) MRH的帮助下计划和执行的，该MRH与多模态成像技术相结合，提供手术病例的动态、详细、实时、一体化三维（3D）实时可视化。外科医生之间的实时连接使外科手术领域的实时共享成为可能。记录外科医生和研究员的反馈，以及他们的满意度，以评估该方法在眼内手术和外科教育中的适用性。结果：该综合系统被证明是一种高效的一体化解决方案，在手术计划和整个手术过程中保持外科医生的知情方面显示出有效性（bbbb8）。在实时视频馈送中没有检测到信号延迟或其他并发症，因此可以在整个过程中进行不间断的指导。外科医生和研究员都对新模式表示满意和兴趣（bbbb8），并对其在填补知识空白、外科远程监控的未来前景以及在外科培训中应用的可能性方面的优势表示赞赏。结论：在眼内手术中引入MRH提供了一种创新的沉浸式可视化，从而在远程监控中带来了显著的好处。这一进步开辟了新的教育机会，并可能改变未来眼科医生的培训。

期刊介绍： Aims and Scope Ophthalmology and Therapy is an international, open access, peer-reviewed (single-blind), and rapid publication journal. The scope of the journal is broad and will consider all scientifically sound research from preclinical, clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the use of ophthalmological therapies, devices, and surgical techniques. The journal is of interest to a broad audience of pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, case reports/series, trial protocols and short communications such as commentaries and editorials. Ophthalmology and Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of quality research, which may be considered of insufficient interest by other journals. Rapid Publication The journal’s publication timelines aim for a rapid peer review of 2 weeks. If an article is accepted it will be published 3–4 weeks from acceptance. The rapid timelines are achieved through the combination of a dedicated in-house editorial team, who manage article workflow, and an extensive Editorial and Advisory Board who assist with peer review. This allows the journal to support the rapid dissemination of research, whilst still providing robust peer review. Combined with the journal’s open access model this allows for the rapid, efficient communication of the latest research and reviews, fostering the advancement of ophthalmic therapies. Open Access All articles published by Ophthalmology and Therapy are open access. Personal Service The journal’s dedicated in-house editorial team offer a personal “concierge service” meaning authors will always have an editorial contact able to update them on the status of their manuscript. The editorial team check all manuscripts to ensure that articles conform to the most recent COPE, GPP and ICMJE publishing guidelines. This supports the publication of ethically sound and transparent research. Digital Features and Plain Language Summaries Ophthalmology and Therapy offers a range of additional features designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. Each article is accompanied by key summary points, giving a time-efficient overview of the content to a wide readership. Articles may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the area to understand the scientific content and overall implications of the article. The journal also provides the option to include various types of digital features including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations. All additional features are peer reviewed to the same high standard as the article itself. If you consider that your paper would benefit from the inclusion of a digital feature, please let us know. Our editorial team are able to create high-quality slide decks and infographics in-house, and video abstracts through our partner Research Square, and would be happy to assist in any way we can. For further information about digital features, please contact the journal editor (see ‘Contact the Journal’ for email address), and see the ‘Guidelines for digital features and plain language summaries’ document under ‘Submission guidelines’. For examples of digital features please visit our showcase page https://springerhealthcare.com/expertise/publishing-digital-features/ Publication Fees Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be required to pay the mandatory Rapid Service Fee of €5250/$6000/£4300. The journal will consider fee discounts and waivers for developing countries and this is decided on a case by case basis. Peer Review Process Upon submission, manuscripts are assessed by the editorial team to ensure they fit within the aims and scope of the journal and are also checked for plagiarism. All suitable submissions are then subject to a comprehensive single-blind peer review. Reviewers are selected based on their relevant expertise and publication history in the subject area. The journal has an extensive pool of editorial and advisory board members who have been selected to assist with peer review based on the afore-mentioned criteria. At least two extensive reviews are required to make the editorial decision, with the exception of some article types such as Commentaries, Editorials, and Letters which are generally reviewed by one member of the Editorial Board. Where reviewer recommendations are conflicted, the editorial board will be contacted for further advice and a presiding decision. Manuscripts are then either accepted, rejected or authors are required to make major or minor revisions (both reviewer comments and editorial comments may need to be addressed). Once a revised manuscript is re-submitted, it is assessed along with the responses to reviewer comments and if it has been adequately revised it will be accepted for publication. Accepted manuscripts are then copyedited and typeset by the production team before online publication. Appeals against decisions following peer review are considered on a case-by-case basis and should be sent to the journal editor. Preprints We encourage posting of preprints of primary research manuscripts on preprint servers, authors’ or institutional websites, and open communications between researchers whether on community preprint servers or preprint commenting platforms. Posting of preprints is not considered prior publication and will not jeopardize consideration in our journals. Authors should disclose details of preprint posting during the submission process or at any other point during consideration in one of our journals. Once the manuscript is published, it is the author’s responsibility to ensure that the preprint record is updated with a publication reference, including the DOI and a URL link to the published version of the article on the journal website.
