Abstract：Objective To explore the application and educational impact of augmented reality technology in thoracic surgery lung anatomy teaching.Methods A total of 60 residents in standardized training in the Department of Thoracic Surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were divided,according to the chronological order of teaching implementation,into an observation group(March 2024 to August 2024)and a control group(September 2023 to February 2024),with 30 participants in each group.Educational outcomes were evaluated through theoretical tests,practical skill assessments,and questionnaires.Results The observation group scored significantly higher than the control group in theoretical and practical assessments(P<0.05).Questionnaire feedback indicated significant improvements in interest,comprehension,and self-directed learning in the observation group(P<0.05).Conclusion Augmented reality technology can enhance the effectiveness of thoracic surgery lung anatomy teaching by boosting residents'interest and practical skills,and offers new insights for surgical education.
