Augmented reality (AR) is defined as "a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user's view of the real world, thus providing a composite view." This case report describes how emerging AR telesurgery technologies may be used to facilitate international surgeon-surgeon collaboration and training. Here, we illustrate how a remote surgeon in Beirut, Lebanon, was able to offer assistance to a surgeon in Gaza, Palestine, during a complex hand reconstruction case following a bomb-blast injury in an 18-year-old male. We discuss the implications of AR technology on the future of global surgery and how it may be used to reduce structural inequities in access to safe surgical care.
增强现实（AR）被定义为“一种将计算机生成的图像叠加在用户对现实世界的视图上，从而提供合成视图的技术”。本病例报告描述了新兴的AR远程手术技术如何可用于促进国际外科医生之间的协作与培训。在此，我们展示了黎巴嫩贝鲁特的一名远程外科医生如何能够在一名18岁男性因炸弹爆炸受伤后的复杂手部重建病例中，为巴勒斯坦加沙的一名外科医生提供协助。我们讨论了AR技术对全球手术未来的影响，以及它如何可用于减少获得安全外科护理方面的结构性不平等。
