==== VR Use in Surgery ====
VR can produce a three-dimensional representation of a particular patient's anatomy that allows surgeons to map out the surgery ahead of time.<ref name=":5">{{cite web |date=23 February 2017 |title=Virtual reality system helps surgeons, reassures patients |url=https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2017/07/virtual-reality-system-helps-surgeons-reassures-patients.html |website=Stanford Medicine}}</ref> This can be used in [[neurosurgery]], allowing neurosurgeons to design a surgical procedure tailored to the patient prior to the operation which enhances surgical success.<ref name=":6">{{Cite journal |last1=Fiani |first1=Brian |last2=De Stefano |first2=Frank |last3=Kondilis |first3=Athanasios |last4=Covarrubias |first4=Claudia |last5=Reier |first5=Louis |last6=Sarhadi |first6=Kasra |date=September 2020 |title=Virtual Reality in Neurosurgery: "Can You See It?"-A Review of the Current Applications and Future Potential |url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32561486/ |journal=World Neurosurgery |volume=141 |pages=291–298 |doi=10.1016/j.wneu.2020.06.066 |issn=1878-8769 |pmid=32561486}}</ref> The first collaborative virtual reality surgery was successfully performed in June 2022, in Brazil by pediatric surgeon Noor Ul Owase Jeelani, of [[Great Ormond Street Hospital]] in London. The surgery, a separation of conjoined twins, was conducted collaboratively in a "virtual reality room" by Dr. Jeelani and Dr. Gabriel Mufarrej, head of paediatric surgery at Instituto Estadual do Cerebro Paulo Niemeyer in Brazil.<ref name=":7">{{Cite news |last=McCallum |first=Shiona |date=2022-08-01 |title=Conjoined twins separated with the help of virtual reality |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-62378452 |access-date=2022-08-08 |work=BBC News}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Suliman |first=Adela |date=2022-08-03 |title=Surgeons use virtual reality techniques to separate conjoined twin |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/08/03/brazil-conjoined-twins-separated-surgery/ |access-date=2022-08-08 |newspaper=The Washington Post}}</ref>
Similarly, experts examined the state of virtual reality (VR) in surgical education today, emphasizing its advantages for patient safety (e.g., electrosurgical procedures), nontechnical skills (e.g., teamwork), and technical skills (e.g., laparoscopy). The conference's objectives were to evaluate the potential of VR simulation technology for surgical training and provide best practices for its application. They found that VR simulation can make it easier for surgeons to an airtight space and an area with proper ventilation. VR simulation can also teach surgeons about safety factors and about the importance of breaks and factors leading to potential failures and problems.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Olasky |first1=Jaisa |last2=Sankaranarayanan |first2=Ganesh |last3=Seymour |first3=Neal E. |last4=Magee |first4=J.
