Last month, at the Angers Affiliated Hospital in western France, doctors used a virtual reality headset to “locate” and monitor the patient's brain during surgery and successfully remove the patient's brain tumor. In the real world, accurately finding and monitoring brain tumors during surgery is not an easy task.

Philippe Menei, a doctor who participated in the operation, said: "By controlling the patient's vision and hearing, we were able to create a virtual reality environment to test a neural connection that was previously undetectable. In this procedure, due to the patient's brain The tumor has affected the vision of the patient's eye, so it is very important for the doctor to carefully monitor the patient's vision during the operation.

In order to be able to monitor the patient's brain response in real time, the doctor creates a virtual environment that abandons the single point focus of the light in traditional surgery. The final surgery is the result, and the patient's vision returns to normal after a few weeks of surgery. In fact, doctors also plan to continue to apply virtual reality technology to similar cases in the future.
