About

Rakesh Mishra has emerged as a pioneering voice at the intersection of neurosurgery and immersive technology, with his work fundamentally reshaping how virtual and augmented reality are applied beyond traditional surgical planning. His landmark review, "Virtual Reality in Neurosurgery: Beyond Neurosurgical Planning" (2022), has already garnered 192 citations, underscoring its influence in expanding the field's horizons. Mishra's research systematically explores underexamined applications of VR and AR—from intraoperative guidance and medical education to patient counseling and rehabilitation—demonstrating how these tools can enhance precision, reduce cognitive load, and improve outcomes across the neurosurgical continuum. By synthesizing evidence from diverse clinical contexts, he has provided a critical roadmap for integrating these technologies into routine practice. Mishra's contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between technical innovation and clinical utility, making complex concepts accessible to both surgeons and trainees. His work not only highlights the transformative potential of immersive environments but also sets a rigorous standard for future research, cementing his role as a key architect in the evolution of digital neurosurgery.
