This literature review examines the impact of Augmented and Virtual Reality on surgical training and procedural planning. These technologies improve surgical accuracy, reduce intraoperative errors, and offer a safe training environment. While challenges such as implementation costs and training standardization remain, the benefits make AR and VR promising tools for future surgical education and practice.
