Incorporation of technology into the training and postgraduate education of surgical residents is a valuable addition to the learning process. Cost-effective XR devices, such as Illumetry, facilitate the segmentation of preoperative MR and CT images of the patient in a computer environment, allowing for the display of these images in three-dimensional format. This allows for the visualization of the tumor or pathological structures in relation to the surrounding anatomical structures, thereby providing a more comprehensive understanding of the case. This approach facilitates enhanced orientation of young neurosurgeons, whether assisting or performing cases themselves, through the use of three-dimensional visualizations. In this study, preoperative magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) images of a patient with a right frontal mass and a pituitary adenoma who underwent surgery at Istanbul University, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine were used. The segmentation of brain, mass, and vascular structures was conducted separately using dedicated software in a computer environment. The three-dimensional (3D) images were then merged with the magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) data and uploaded to the XR device, known as Illumetry (SIMBT). Video recordings of the surgical procedures were made and subsequently edited by two surgeons to a duration of five minutes. The study included 40 neurosurgery residents. The participants were presented with the preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) images, and the segmented three-dimensional (3D) model of the operated right frontal mass and pituitary adenoma patients. Subsequently, the edited video, five-minute of the surgical procedures in question, was showed to the residents. Subsequently, the residents were invited to complete a 20-item survey. The results of the survey were subjected to descriptive analysis using the IBM SPSS Statistics software. The results of the study showed that the Illumetry device made a significant contribution to preoperative planning and intraoperative orientation.
