Abstract: Introduction: augmented reality is applied in different spheres and provides broad possibilities as educational technology, it is a way to interact with physical reality in real time, having multiple applications in the field of medicine. Objective: characterize the application of augmented reality in the field of surgery. Method: a review of the available literature was carried out using synthetic and historical-logical analytical methods using articles recovered from databases such as SciELO, Dialnet, Scopus, Researchgate, recovering a total of 15 reference articles from available literature related to the topic. in question, included in the time frame between 2018 and 2024. Results: augmented reality can be used as a tool to facilitate the visual positioning of surgeons in the intervention of minimally invasive surgeries given the continuous evolution of medicine towards minimally invasive treatments, computing is increasingly present. Augmented reality (AR) in medicine facilitates the preparation and development of surgical operations, plays a very significant educational role, is characterized by being a cognitive process with which one learns at the same time as performing the activity, improves training surgical and effectiveness. Conclusions: currently and in the future, augmented reality constitutes a necessary tool for preclinical training, due to its application in different fields of medicine, including surgery, guiding this technology to improve clinical and surgical capabilities of professionals.
