Percutaneous nephrostomy can be an effective means of preventing irreparable renal damage from obstructive renal disease thereby providing patients with more time to access treatment to remove the source of the blockage. In sub-Saharan Africa, where there is limited access to treatments such as dialysis and transplantation, a nephrostomy can be life-saving. Training this procedure in simulation can allow trainees to develop their technical skills without risking patient safety, but still requires an ex-pert observer to provide performative feedback.

Purpose: eXtended Reality (XR) technology, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR), is a growing field in healthcare. Each modality offers unique benefits and drawbacks for medical education, simulation, and clinical care. We review current studies to understand how XR technology uses medical imaging to enhance surgical diagnostics, planning, and performance.

Introduction: Dystonia manifests as slow twisting movements (pure dystonia) or repetitive, jerky motions (jerky dystonia). Dystonia can coexist with myoclonus (myoclonus dystonia) or tremor (tremor dystonia). Each of these presentations can have distinct etiology, can involve discrete sensorimotor networks, and may have characteristic neurophysiological signature.
