In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Though the efficacy of VRH is documented in various outpatient urological procedures and has provided promising preliminary information in prostate biopsy, its systematic use in urology remains poorly studied. Considering the potential of invasive urological procedures to induce significant patient discomfort, the application of innovative immersive approaches, such as those offered by medical devices, could lead to an overall clinical benefit. Among these, REALICA® (available from https://REALICA.io/en/), a class I CE medical device, widely used in hospitals and validated by numerous studies, represents a valuable resource in urology, supported by high satisfaction rates received in abdominal surgery and extracorporeal lithotripsy
