Abstract
Nowadays, the urologic surgery has entered in precision surgery era. The image guided surgery is one of the most promising technology, and in particular the possibility to overlap virtual images enhancing the patient's anatomy allows to perform augmented reality procedures (AR). The preliminary clinical experiences in prostate and kidney cancer surgery revealed the potential benefit of AR guidance in the optimizing the oncological and functional outcomes. Moreover, in the percutaneous treatment of kidney stones, the AR helps the surgeons in defining the puncture route.
