Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Simulation

Background:

  • Neurosurgical training demands increasing time and effort.
  • There is a need for more efficient educational tools in neurosurgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of 3D printing and augmented reality (AR) systems in neurosurgical training.
  • To assess the utility of these technologies for practicing basic and advanced neurosurgical procedures.

Main Methods:

  • 3D printing of skull anatomy from CT and MRI scans.
  • Simulation of basic (craniotomies) and advanced (skull base approaches) procedures using 3D models and AR.
  • Post-training questionnaire to assess trainee feedback on program effectiveness.

Main Results:

  • Trainees rated the simulation program highly for its importance in education (4.9/5) and realism (4.5/5).
  • All participants in the advanced procedure training found the AR system useful (5/5) and felt prepared for clinical practice (4.7/5).

Conclusions:

  • Simulation-based training using 3D-printed anatomy and AR systems is a valuable adjunct to neurosurgical education.
  • These tools offer a realistic environment for trainees to enhance surgical skills and performance.
