Santiago Horgan, known for pioneering robotically assisted gastric-bypass surgery, is now exploring Apple Vision Pro headsets for minimally invasive surgeries at UC San Diego. This new technology allows surgeons to view vital information without looking away from the patient, addressing the discomfort associated with minimal-access operations. Horgan is impressed by the headset’s capabilities and believes it could revolutionize surgical procedures, making it accessible even to smaller hospitals. While other companies offer similar devices, such as Augmedics’ AR navigation system and Vuzix headsets for remote teaching, the potential of these headsets in improving patient care and surgical training is promising. Surgeons like Miguel Burch from Cedars-Sinai see the Apple Vision Pro as a versatile tool that can enhance surgical outcomes and potentially extend surgeons’ careers.
