| Abstract: | This systematic literature review investigates touchless interaction modalities, specifically voice and gesture control within surgical environments. Motivated by the need to maintain sterility and increase efficiency in the operating room, this study synthesizes findings from both qualitative and quantitative research conducted over the past 12 years. Using PRISMA guidelines and the ROBINS-I framework, 28 articles were evaluated for their relevance and practical deployment. Results highlight a growing preference for multimodal interfaces and the contextual benefits and limitations of each modality. The review identifies gaps in standardization, usability assessment, and demographic diversity, offering a foundation for future design and validation of hands-free surgical systems. |
