Science Tokyo recently announced a clinical milestone: an AR glasses-assisted bladder cancer surgery, performed on September 28, 2026 on a man in his 50s undergoing bladder-preserving therapy, proceeded smoothly after chemoradiotherapy. The intraoperative AR system was developed jointly by the urology team of associate professor Soichiro Yoshida and the electrical and electronic engineering team of associate professor Tomohiro Amemiya. It uses XREAL One Pro optical see-through AR glasses as the lead surgeon's core display, overlaying endoscope footage and other key surgical information directly in the surgeon's view, so they can watch the endoscope image, operate with both hands and monitor the surrounding environment without constantly shifting their gaze. The system also integrates supporting tech: an adapter by Thruster that automatically adjusts the endoscope image for the operator's stance, and Sony's medical imaging platform NUCLeUS to manage the OR's multiple video feeds over wired or wireless connections.
Science Tokyo recently announced a clinical achievement: the hospital has successfully completed an AR-glasses-assisted bladder cancer surgery. The operation was performed on September 28, 2026, on a male patient in his 50s undergoing conservative bladder management, carried out after chemoradiotherapy, and the entire procedure went smoothly. The intraoperative AR system was jointly developed by the team of Associate Professor Soichiro Yoshida of the university's Department of Urology and the team of Associate Professor Tomohiro Amemiya of the Faculty of Engineering's Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, as a medical-engineering collaboration project. The team chose the XREAL One Pro optical see-through AR glasses as the lead surgeon's core display terminal; leveraging the glasses' see-through display and light weight, key surgical information such as endoscope imagery is overlaid directly in the surgeon's field of view, so the doctor does not need to shift gaze frequently and can simultaneously watch the endoscope feed, their own hands at work, and the surrounding surgical environment. The system also integrates several supporting technologies. Paired with an adapter solution developed by Thruster, it automatically adjusts the display of the endoscope image according to the operator's position; it also connects to Sony's medical imaging platform NUCLeUS to centrally manage the multiple video feeds in the operating room, supporting both wired and wireless transmission modes. Besides the XREAL One Pro used by the lead surgeon, other surgical team members can wear the lighter xbx a01+ model to view the information in sync, improving surgical safety and operating precision through multi-role information coordination. The research is funded by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) through its Strategic Basic Research Program (CREST), under the research theme 'medical augmented reality glasses enabled by metamaterial technology,' with the project running from 2024 to 2029.
东京理科大学（Science Tokyo）近日公布一项临床成果，该院已成功完成一例AR眼镜辅助的膀胱癌手术。手术于2026年9月28日实施，患者为一名接受保守膀胱治疗的50多岁男性，在放化疗后开展手术，全程进展顺利。
这套术中AR系统由该校肾泌尿外科吉田宗一郎副教授团队，联合工学院电气电子工程系雨宫智弘副教授团队共同研发，属于医工交叉合作项目。团队选用XREAL One Pro光学透视AR眼镜作为主刀医生的核心显示终端，依托眼镜的透视显示与轻量化优势，将内窥镜影像等手术关键信息直接叠加在医生视野内，医生无需频繁切换视线，可同步观察内镜画面、双手操作与周围手术环境。
系统同时整合了多项配套技术。搭配Thruster公司开发的适配方案，可根据操作者的站位自动调整内窥镜图像的显示效果；接入索尼医疗影像平台NUCLeUS，统一管理手术室内的多路视频信号，支持有线与无线两种传输模式。
除主刀医生使用的XREAL One Pro外，其他手术参与人员可佩戴更轻便的xbx a01+型号同步查看信息，通过多角色信息协同提升手术的安全性与操作精度。
据了解，该研究由日本科学技术振兴机构（JST）战略基础研究项目（CREST）资助，对应“利用超材料技术实现医用增强现实眼镜”研究课题，项目周期为2024年至2029年。
