Mixed reality (MR) enables real-time overlay of virtual anatomic structures in the surgical field and has potential applications in craniofacial surgeries. Although early monobloc advancements have benefited from transfacial pinning, the technique remains challenging owing to the limited safe insertion area and orbital injury risk. The authors processed DICOM-format computed tomography images for bone segmentation and added a rod representing the optimal pin insertion trajectory.

Background: Clinical assessment of balance and postural disorders is usually carried out through several common practices including tests such as the Subjective Visual Vertical (SVV) and Limit of Stability (LOS). Nowadays, several cutting-edge technologies have been proposed as supporting tools for stability evaluation. Extended Reality (XR) emerges as a powerful instrument.

Objective: Augmented reality (AR) has recently gained a reputation in surgical applications, providing real-time integration of virtual information into the surgeon's field of view. The aim of this paper was to describe the authors' clinical experience with AR using the Microsoft HoloLens 2 head-mounted display (HMD) in pediatric craniofacial surgery, particularly for correcting single-suture craniosynostosis.
Methods: In this study, the authors compared AR-guided osteotomies with those guided by a traditional neurosurgical navigation system in a cohort of 10 consecutive pediatric patients.

The use of augmented reality (AR) for pre-procedural planning has increased over the past decade, yet its real-time application during complex cardiac interventions remains novel. This case highlights the integration of AR technology during a challenging transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) using a self-expanding system in a pediatric patient. A 12-year-old male with a history of congenital pulmonary valve stenosis presented with progressive right ventricular dilation and exercise intolerance.
