The aim of this study is to review the surgical application of virtual reality(VR) and augmented reality(AR) and report the cases by using virtual reality simulation and augmented reality navigation surgery. Virtual reality can provide an intuitive simulation that anyone can use easily and even if the understanding of the software is low. Virtual reality performs the operation in advance by reproducing the actual operation situation, and make the pre-operative plan. Virtual reality that makes this simulation possible, and this virtual reality-based simula tion can also be used for surgical education. Additionally, from the virtual planning can be applied for making 3D printing surgical guide using exporting the pre-operative planning data. Augmented reality could be highly useful for navigation in real operation.
