Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Augmented Reality

Background:

  • Neurovascular compression (NVC) syndromes, like trigeminal neuralgia (TN), are treated with microvascular decompression (MVD).
  • High-resolution MRI with CISS/TOF sequences enables 3D visualization of causative vessels at cranial nerve root entry zones.
  • Augmented reality (AR) is established in neurosurgery for tumor resections and aneurysm operations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the feasibility of implementing microscope-based AR into the intraoperative setup for MVD surgery.
  • To assess the potential benefits of integrating advanced visualization techniques in MVD procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Semiautomatic segmentation of MRI data (CISS/TOF sequences) for 3D neurovascular structure visualization.
  • Exploration of microscope-based AR integration for intraoperative guidance during MVD.
  • Preoperative evaluation of 3D visualization alongside the surgeon's direct microscopical view.

Main Results:

  • The study explored the potential integration of microscope-based AR into the MVD surgical workflow.
  • Preoperative 3D visualization is recommended to supplement the surgeon's direct view.
  • Potential challenges include the impact of integrated AR imaging data on the experienced surgeon's view.

Conclusions:

  • Microscope-based AR shows potential feasibility for enhancing MVD surgery by providing integrated 3D neurovascular visualization.
  • Further prospective studies are needed to evaluate the impact of AR implementation on surgical outcomes and surgeon's visual field.
  • Preoperative 3D visualization is advised to complement intraoperative microscopic visualization in MVD.
