Abstract
Although continuous technological developments have optimized and evolved medical care throughout time, these technologies were mostly still comprehensible for users. Driven by immense financial efforts, modern innovative products and technical solutions are transforming medicine today and will do so even more in the future: virtual and augmented reality. This review critically summarizes the current literature and future uses of virtual and augmented reality in the field of urology.
