Neurovascular compression (NVC) syndromes such as trigeminal neuralgia (TN) are causally treated with microvascular decompression (MVD). Semiautomatic segmentation of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data and constructive interference in steady state (CISS)/time-of-flight (TOF) sequences are utilized for the three-dimensional (3D) visualization of underlying causative vessels at the root entry zones of the relevant cranial nerves. Augmented reality (AR) of neurovascular structures was introduced especially in the resection of brain tumors or aneurysmatic operations. In this report, the potential feasibility of the implementation of microscope-based AR into the intraoperative microsurgical set-up of MVD was investigated. This article recommends the preoperative evaluation of 3D visualization besides the microscopical view of the surgeon. The implementation of multiple imaging data by AR into the operating microscope may afflict the experienced surgeon's view, which should be examined prospectively.

The commercialization of metasurfaces is crucial for real-world applications such as wearable sensors, pigment-free color pixels, and augmented and virtual reality devices. Nanoparticle-embedded resin-based nanoimprint lithography (PER-NIL) has shown itself to be a low-cost, high-throughput manufacturing method enabling the replication of high-index nanostructures. It has been extensively integrated into the fabrication of hologram metasurfaces, metalenses, and sensors due to its procedural simplicity.

Purpose: Currently available grading and classification systems for hemifacial spasm either rely on subjective assessments or are excessively intricate. Here, we make use of facial recognition and facial tracking technologies towards accurately grouping patients according to severity and characteristics of the spasms.
Methods: A retrospective review of our prospectively maintained preoperative videos database for hemifacial spasm was done.

Background: The integration of advanced technologies such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) into surgical procedures has garnered significant attention. However, the introduction of these innovations requires thorough evaluation in the context of human-machine interaction. Despite their potential benefits, new technologies can complicate surgical tasks and increase the cognitive load on surgeons, potentially offsetting their intended advantages.
