The surgery actually first took place in October 2025, but the surgeon in question \u2014 Dr. Eric Rosenberg, DO, MSE \u2014 has since performed \u201chundreds\u201d of subsequent procedures, according to a press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It all happened at the SightMD practice in New England, which is owned by Dr. Rosenberg. Using a Vision Pro app called ScopeXR (also developed by Dr. Rosenberg), the surgeons were able to visualize the operation \u201cin immersive stereoscopic 3D while simultaneously accessing real-time surgical overlays and comprehensive preoperative diagnostic data, all without breaking sterile technique”.<\/p>\n Article continues below <\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n Dr. Rosenberg had plenty of praise for the Vision Pro: \u201cThis isn\u2019t just about a new device, it\u2019s about reimagining what the operating room of the future looks like.\u201d Speaking of ScopeXR, he said: \u201cWe\u2019ve created a platform that makes surgeons safer, smarter, and more connected.\u201d<\/p>\n Fulfilling the Vision Pro\u2019s potential<\/p>\n One way that ScopeXR was able to tap into the Vision Pro was by enabling collaboration between surgeons and consultants, even if they weren\u2019t all in the same room together. Assistants and mentors could remotely join the feed provided by the Vision Pro and communicate in real time.<\/p>\n As Dr. Rosenberg put it, \u201cWe are now able to bring the world\u2019s best surgeon into any operating room, at any hour, from anywhere on the planet.\u201d That has a range of uses, from training surgeons to providing help with unexpected complications.<\/p>\n Apple\u2019s Vision Pro is often held up as an expensive flop, with its future existence frequently called into question<\/a>, and it\u2019s true that the device seems to have struggled to gain traction in the consumer world. But flip over to the other side of the coin and it appears that the product is doing well in industrial, medical and similar environments.<\/p>\n Perhaps that\u2019s where the Vision Pro is best placed to fulfill its potential. Apple is said to be working on lightweight smart glasses<\/a>, and those would probably be a more consumer-friendly device. But for more demanding users like operating theaters around the world, the Vision Pro\u2019s incredibly high-end specs could be just what\u2019s needed.<\/p>\n Follow TechRadar on Google News<\/a> and add us as a preferred source<\/a> to get our expert news, reviews, and opinion in your feeds.
