Summary
This study tested an augmented reality (AR) tool that tracks where surgeons look during kidney stone surgery training. The goal was to help less experienced surgeons learn to find all stone fragments, which can reduce repeat surgeries. Eight urology residents participated in a simulated setting using the Microsoft HoloLens 2. The tool measured how many stones they saw and how much mental effort they reported.
