Overview

Prospective cohort study demonstrates immersive virtual reality enhances anatomical understanding in cerebrovascular neurosurgery, suggesting significant educational and planning benefits.

Key Points

  • To evaluate whether and how a multiuser immersive virtual reality system aids presurgical case discussions and anatomical comprehension in cerebrovascular surgery.
  • Implemented a multiuser immersive head-mounted display virtual reality platform (BananaVision™) during presurgical discussions for a prospective cohort undergoing cerebrovascular surgery.
  • Assessed surgical planning utility using post-procedure surgeon interviews and an objective scoring system evaluating surgeons' hand-drawn presurgical anatomical sketches compared to conventional imaging.
  • Virtual reality sessions improved surgeons' understanding of patient-specific anatomy in 83.3% of cases, a finding corroborated by objective illustration evaluations.
  • The system enhanced decision-making regarding minor surgical techniques in 61.1% of cases and aided critical decisions in anatomically challenging operations.
  • Surgical trainees rated the overall clinical and educational utility of the virtual reality platform significantly higher than experienced neurosurgeons.
