Radical endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET) offers superior cosmetic outcomes and enhanced visibility of the surgical field compared to open surgery. However, the thyroid's unique physiological functions and intricate surrounding anatomy may result in various surgical complications. Mixed reality (MR), a real-time holographic visualization technology, enables the creation of highly realistic 3D models in the real world and facilitates multiple human-computer interactions. MR can be utilized for both preoperative evaluation and intraoperative navigation. First, semi-automatic 3D reconstruction of the neck from enhanced computed tomography images is performed using 3Dslicer. Next, the 3D model is imported into Unity3D to create a virtual hologram that can be displayed on an MR helmet-mounted display (HMD). During surgery, surgeons can wear the MR HMD to locate lesions and surrounding anatomy through the virtual hologram. In this study, patients requiring radical ET were randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control group. Surgeons performed MR-assisted radical ET in the experimental group. A comparative analysis of surgical outcomes and the results of scales was conducted. This study successfully developed the neck 3D model and the virtual hologram. According to the NASA Task Load Index Scale, the experimental group exhibited significantly higher scores in 'Own Performance' and lower scores in 'Effort' compared to the control group (p = 0.002). Additionally, on the Likert Subjective Evaluation Scale, the mean scores for all questions exceeded 3. Although the incidence of surgical complications was lower in the experimental group than in the control group, the differences in surgical outcomes were not statistically significant.MR is beneficial for enhancing performance and alleviating the burden of surgeons during the perioperative period. Furthermore, MR has demonstrated the potential to enhance the safety of ET. Therefore, it is essential to further investigate the surgical applications of MR.
