Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Technology
  • Surgical Planning

Background:

  • Optimal bone exposure is critical in skull base surgery.
  • Insufficient exposure risks the operation, while excessive exposure can cause complications.

Observation:

  • A novel technique utilizes Virtual Reality (VR) for surgical planning, rehearsal, and navigation.
  • Patient-specific VR models are used to rehearse and determine ideal bone exposure.
  • The chosen VR model serves as a template integrated with the surgical navigation system.

Findings:

  • The VR template technique was applied in two skull base tumor resection cases.
  • It facilitated achieving ideal surgical exposure, balancing sufficient access with complication avoidance.
  • Complete tumor resections were achieved without approach-related complications.

Implications:

  • Virtual Reality (VR) significantly enhances the safety and effectiveness of neurosurgical procedures.
  • Preoperative VR templates enable surgeons to precisely replicate a designed surgical opening.
  • This approach optimizes exposure while minimizing risks, with no identified disadvantages to date.
