About

Flip Kor is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neurosurgery and advanced visualization technologies. His primary research focuses on developing and validating augmented reality (AR) systems for precision-guided cranial procedures, particularly biopsy needle insertion and external ventricular drain (EVD) placement. Kor’s most influential work, an evaluation of an augmented reality surgical navigation (ARSN) system, has garnered 48 citations and stands as a landmark study in the field. In this 2021 paper, he demonstrated that AR guidance significantly improves both accuracy—reducing deviation from intended targets—and procedural efficiency, as measured by insertion time. This contribution addresses a critical need in neurosurgery: enhancing safety and outcomes in high-stakes, millimeter-precision interventions. By bridging the gap between virtual planning and real-time surgical execution, Kor’s research offers a tangible path toward reducing complications in cranial biopsies and emergency EVD insertions. His work is widely cited by engineers and clinicians alike, reflecting its dual impact on medical device innovation and clinical practice. For students and researchers exploring the future of computer-assisted surgery, Flip Kor’s studies exemplify how augmented reality can transform traditional procedures into safer, more reliable operations.
