Apple Vision Pro is back on the operating table in Brazil, as Brazilian doctors have started using the innovative technology to perform shoulder arthroscopic surgery. Bruno Gobbato, an orthopedic surgeon, is leading the way by incorporating Apple Vision Pro into his surgical processes to optimize the precision and efficiency of the operation.
Shoulder arthroscopic surgery involves the use of a camera inside the joint, with the surgeon relying on a screen to observe and perform the necessary manipulations. With Apple Vision Pro, doctors can now view high-resolution images on a screen the size of a movie theater, providing a clear and detailed view of the surgical site.
In addition to viewing surgical footage, doctors using Vision Pro can access 3D reference models and utilize Apple’s built-in memos to review patient examination results. This allows for a comprehensive and detailed approach to the surgical procedure, enhancing the overall quality of care provided to the patient.
Bruno Gobbato, who has experience using head-mounted displays for surgery, has also utilized Microsoft HoloLens in addition to Apple Vision Pro. He noted that the high-brightness surgical lights used during the procedure did not interfere with the display quality of Vision Pro, unlike other head-mounted displays.
