620 Exploring The Metaverse: The New Way To Guide Surgical Planning

Dr. Federico Piramide

Traditional surgical planning relies on static imaging and lacks interactive, collaborative tools. Early uses of the metaverse in healthcare showed promise but were limited by low model interactivity and no customization options for surgeons. We developed an enhanced metaverse platform integrating patient-specific 3D virtual models (3DVMs) into an immersive, operating room-like environment. Surgeons can manipulate models by adjusting transparency, decomposing structures, and isolating anatomical parts. Personalized avatars enable real-time dialogue, and integration with TilePro allows intraoperative guidance, letting remote users orient the organ during live procedures. This approach introduces key innovations: (1) a realistic and immersive setting, (2) customizable avatars and models, (3) seamless transition from preoperative planning to intraoperative support, and (4) multi-user collaboration across locations. These features transform surgical planning into a dynamic, continuous, and collaborative process, improving anatomical understanding and supporting real-time decision-making during surgery.
