The application of holographic navigation guidance technology in malignant bone tumor surgery

Abstract

Holographic navigation guidance technology mainly refers to the intraoperative holography navigation using a mixed-reality wearable computer, which can provide more probabilities to accurately remove the tumors and preserve more normal tissues. We reported a case of using this new technology to achieve precise resection of malignant bone tumors. The operation was successful, with short operative time, low blood loss, and good postoperative limb function recovery. The successful application of this technology is expected to effectively reduce the recurrence rate of malignant bone tumors, to reduce intraoperative blood loss and to avoid many perioperative complications. We believe that the novel application of holographic navigation guidance technology will bring good news to the precise and individualized treatment of bone tumor patients.
