Apple’s Vision Pro Used in Successful Shoulder Surgery by Brazilian Doctor
Apple’s Vision Pro, which was launched at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) last year, has been receiving mixed reviews. However, the company is continuing to showcase how Vision Pro can integrate into various aspects of life. Recent reports have emerged that a Brazilian plastic surgeon, Dr. Bruno Gobbato, successfully performed shoulder surgery using the Vision Pro device.
According to reports from foreign media outlets WCCFtech and MacMagazine, Dr. Gobbato utilized Vision Pro during surgery on a patient with a rotator cuff tear. The tear was caused by excessive wear and tear of the shoulder tendon tissue. Dr. Gobbato shared his experience with using Vision Pro, highlighting how the device displays surgery-related information through lenses and sensors, ultimately aiding in a smoother surgical procedure.
One of the key benefits of using Vision Pro during surgery is the ability to see high-resolution images on a large screen in real-time. This provides the surgeon with a clearer view of the patient’s condition and allows for a better understanding of the 3D model. Dr. Gobbato, who previously used Microsoft HoloLens for surgeries, considers Vision Pro a “game changer” and notes that it has replaced many of his previous devices.
While Vision Pro has shown promise in various applications, including entertainment and daily tasks, some users have reported issues such as heaviness, dizziness, dark circles, headaches, and neck pain while wearing the device. It remains to be seen if Apple will address these concerns and make improvements to Vision Pro in the future. The company also plans to expand the availability of Vision Pro to more countries this year.
As technology continues to advance, the use of devices like Vision Pro in medical procedures demonstrates the potential for innovation in the healthcare industry. With further developments and enhancements, Apple’s Vision Pro could play a significant role in the future of surgical procedures.
