  • The study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of a virtual reality (VR) mask as a distraction method during minimally invasive urological procedures using local anesthesia.
  • It included 39 patients undergoing specific urological interventions, measuring anxiety and pain levels preoperatively and intraoperatively, along with vital signs and patient satisfaction surveys.
  • Results indicated that the majority of patients found the VR mask satisfactory and it may help in reducing pain and anxiety during these procedures.
