Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Virtual Reality (VR)
  • Haptic Technology

Background:

  • Virtual Reality (VR) offers immersive training environments.
  • Haptic technology integration in VR aims to improve sensory feedback.
  • Neurosurgical training requires precise psychomotor skills development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a VR-based surgical simulator for External Ventricular Drain (EVD) placement.
  • To assess the impact of smart haptic gloves on neurosurgery trainees' performance and experience.
  • To explore the utility of haptic gloves in simulating neurosurgical procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a VR simulator for External Ventricular Drain (EVD) placement.
  • Integration of smart haptic gloves to provide sensory feedback during simulated procedures.
  • User study involving 30 neurosurgery residents at the 2022 Canadian Neurosurgery Rookie Bootcamp.
  • Acquisition of objective performance metrics and subjective user experience scores.

Main Results:

  • The haptic glove-enhanced VR simulator was successfully integrated into a neurosurgical training curriculum.
  • Neurosurgery residents utilized the simulator for practicing burr hole placement and catheter manipulation.
  • Objective performance data and subjective feedback were collected from 30 trainees.

Conclusions:

  • Smart haptic gloves show promise in augmenting VR-based surgical training for neurosurgery.
  • The developed simulator provides a valuable tool for practicing External Ventricular Drain (EVD) placement.
  • Further research is needed to fully explore the potential and refine haptic feedback in surgical simulation.
