The Impact of VR on Preoperative Planning in Pelvic Sarcoma Surgery
The study highlights the transformative impact of Avatar Medical’s virtual reality solution on planning surgeries for pelvic bone sarcoma cases. By converting CT and MRI data into real-time 3D models, surgeons can interact with a detailed virtual representation of the tumor and its surrounding anatomy. This approach enhances tumor border delineation, improves grading of adjacent structure involvement, and enables significant adjustments to surgical plans.
With VR, 67% of tumor borders are clearly delineated compared to 0% with traditional 2D viewers, and surgeons indicate they would change their surgical strategy 44% of the time after using our technology. These findings demonstrate how (Avatar Medical) VR technology addresses the challenges of complex pelvic anatomy, increases surgical confidence, and improves communication with patients and colleagues, ultimately leading to better surgical outcomes.

Management of ischiopagus twin separation with a focus on W–S incision design
.svg){kind=icon}
Ischiopagus twins share parts of the spine, central nervous system, gastrointestinal and genitou-rinary tracts with various degrees of severity. Their separation is a surgical challenge. From the perspective of the plastic surgeon, one of the straightforward technical problems of conjoined twin separation is the coverage of the large residual parietal defects determined by the initial skin incisions. This report provides a description of relevant incision design strategies for ischiopagus separation in order to minimize morbidity related to coverage issues, especially in the abdominal and perineal regions.

Fast-track VR for Cardiac Imaging in Congenital Heart Disease
We sought to evaluate the appropriateness of cardiac anatomy renderings by a new virtual reality (VR) technology, entitled DIVA, directly applicable to raw MRI imaging data without intermediate segmentation steps in comparison to standard 3D rendering techniques (3D PDF and 3D printing). Differences in post processing times were also evaluated.
