Abstract

Immersive technologies (IT) are undergoing significant expansion in medicine. Among them, virtual augmented or mixed reality offers an interactive or immersive virtual environments to its users, opening a wide array of applications in modern medicine. IT seem particularly interesting in urology, offering a real-time overlay of diagnostic information onto the surgical field and helping visualizing complex anatomical structures, potentially enhancing intraoperative decision-making. Training through realistic simulations with IT represent an excellent and secure tool for trainees and urologists. Finally, patient's comfort during procedures under local anesthesia could be optimized with the use of IT. Further studies are awaited to validate their effectiveness and evaluate their costs to permit their integration into routine medical practice.
