This simulation method demonstrates enhanced surgical planning in skull base meningiomas, suggesting improved outcomes for complex cases.

To develop a comprehensive 3D simulation method that accurately reproduces surgical steps for skull base meningioma procedures.
Developed a digital 3D simulation application for surgical planning.
Imported DICOM preoperative imaging data to generate 3D models of relevant structures.
Used AI-based segmentation for accurate anatomical representation.
Incorporated functions for tissue management during surgery.
The simulation accurately reproduced the surgical workflow for tumor removal.
Intraoperative findings matched the simulated procedure closely.
Gross total resection achieved without neurological complications.

Ishikawa et al. (2026) studied this question.
