Summary
This study tested an augmented reality (AR) tool that tracks where a surgeon looks during kidney stone surgery. The goal was to see if sharing an expert's eye-gaze pattern could help trainee surgeons find and remove all stone fragments, reducing the need for repeat surgeries. Eight urology residents participated in a simulated setting using the Microsoft HoloLens 2. The study measured how many stones they spotted, how long it took, and their mental workload.
