Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Simulation
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • External ventricular drain (EVD) insertion is a critical neurosurgical procedure.
  • Accurate preoperative planning is essential for successful EVD placement.
  • Traditional methods for EVD planning have limitations in visualizing complex anatomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To utilize virtual reality (VR) for analyzing and optimizing the preoperative planning of freehand EVD insertion.
  • To create 3D virtual brain models for enhanced visualization of anatomical landmarks.
  • To improve surgical performance through optimized preoperative planning parameters derived from simulations.

Main Methods:

  • Computed tomography (CT) scans were used to construct 3D virtual brain models.
  • Simulated EVD insertions were performed using virtual catheters with varying entry points.
  • Key parameters (entry point, catheter orientation, tip position, insertion depth) were recorded and analyzed.
  • A data analysis method was applied to determine optimal surgical parameters.

Main Results:

  • The VR-based method achieved a 97.79% success rate in 204 cases, significantly higher than the classic method (59.52%).
  • Optimal insertion angles ranged from 10.46° to 12.73° towards the sagittal plane.
  • Optimized insertion depth was determined to be 3.28 to 4.58 cm to avoid penetrating the lateral ventricles.

Conclusions:

  • The data analysis method effectively optimizes key preoperative planning parameters for EVD insertion.
  • VR-based simulation provides valuable references for neurosurgeons performing freehand EVD procedures.
  • Experiments on 3D printing models confirmed the data analysis's effectiveness with a 93.75% success rate.
