As a result, most surgeons report experiencing discomfort while performing minimal-access surgery, a 2022 study found. About one-fifth of surgeons polled said they would consider retiring early because their pain was so frequent and uncomfortable. A good mixed-reality headset, then, might allow a surgeon to look at a patient’s surgical area and, without looking up, virtual screens that show them the laparoscopy camera and a patient’s vitals.

Even in non-surgical settings, operating room ergonomics is a huge area of research right now. Even in a routine colonoscopy there are often a half dozen workers attending to the patient, and making sure they can all reach at a comfortable angle and height, without twisting their neck to read a display, is a big challenge.
