The emergence of virtual reality and augmented reality makes preoperative simulation and intraoperative real-time guidance possible, especially for lesions in functional areas.
Preoperatively, the virtual reality technique allowed the simulation of tumor resection while visualizing the fiber tracts. During resection, we used augmented reality to localize the terminations of dorsal language pathways and strictly followed the preoperative plan to perform the surgery. Gross total resection and favorable functional outcome were finally achieved.
This case demonstrates that preoperative simulation and augmented reality can truly assist in glioma surgery in functional areas.
虚拟现实和增强现实的出现使得术前模拟和术中实时引导成为可能,尤其是对于功能区的病变。
术前,虚拟现实技术允许模拟肿瘤切除,同时可视化纤维束。在切除过程中,我们使用增强现实技术定位背侧语言通路的终点,并严格按照术前计划进行手术。最终实现了大体全切除和良好的功能结局。
本病例表明,术前模拟和增强现实技术确实可以辅助功能区脑肿瘤手术。
