Systematic review demonstrates that augmented reality improves performance metrics in surgical trainees, indicating its feasibility as a valuable adjunct to traditional surgical education.

Key Points

To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of augmented reality platforms as adjunct tools in surgical education and skill acquisition.
Systematic review of existing literature examining augmented reality simulator models and devices applied to surgical training curricula.
Augmented reality platforms demonstrated qualitative feasibility and effectiveness in improving procedural performance measures among surgical trainees when used alongside traditional training methods.
Microsoft HoloLens generated the most favorable outcomes across all evaluated performance parameters compared to other simulation models.
Evidence supporting alternative simulator models was limited by study design constraints, indicating a need for more rigorous trials to validate broader AR adoption.
