Sažetak
Objectives: There are many new, innovative approaches and techniques, as technological advances in the modern surgery, such as CAS, NESS and robotic surgery, but nowadays we also can use the „surgery in-the-air”. We can understand this newest approach as a „contactless surgery”, and as a part of adopting augmented and virtual reality for next generation of information technology and medical healthcare. Methods: Our experience in using DICOM viewer and computer HD sensor device that supports hand and finger motions, to control the surgical system without touching anything, has definitely upgraded our understanding of the “human anatomical natural world” and enabled us to develop appropriate sensitivity and awareness of different coloration of normal and pathologic tissues in the pre/intraoperative diagnostics/surgical activities. Results: In our experience, taking an innovative “virtual surgical ride” per viam topclass contactless-surgery system, through the human anatomy, is a completely nontraumatic, safe, and perfect starting point for exploring this surgical philosophy with many distinct and very pleasant anatomic neighborhoods of the human head, as we have already discussed. Conclusion: From our point of view, contactless surgery in “non existing virtual space” today seems significantly different from what it was like just a few months ago, being the typical representative of the adopting augmented and VR for next generation IT and medical healthcare. We strongly believe that contactless “in the air” surgery is very special and fascinating, and it comes as no surprise that it keeps on being useful and attracts not only those who have already gotten to know it, but new professional medical users of the new era as well. Finally, it will help us rebuild our understanding of human orientation in the surgery and navigate very successfully through different anatomic tissues, as well as empty spaces throughout the surgical process, wherever it may occur.
