Three-dimensional (3D) models have gained significant traction in urology to benefit surgical education and preoperative planning.?>1-3?> More recently, augmented reality (AR) has been presented as a tool to allow for real-time imaging guidance intraoperatively to improve accurate anatomic evaluation and tumor localization, and ultimately, allow for more precise excision.4,5 This new tool for precision surgery has the potential to improve long term oncologic and functional outcomes by maximizing residual renal volume and minimizing positive surgical margins.
