Abstract

Background: Lateral temporal bone resection (LTBR) is performed for stage T1-2 external ear malignant tumors and requires spatial anatomical knowledge of the rare surgical field.

Objective: This paper presents a novel virtual reality (VR) based surgical simulation and navigation system using only commercially available display device and an online software, to assist in the understanding of the anatomy pre and intraoperatively.

Result And Conclusion: VR model created by 3D Slicer modules and visualized on head mounted display enabled users to simulate and learn surgical techniques of a rare surgical case. 3D hologram through HoloLens assisted the surgeon in comprehending the spatial relationship between crucial vital structures and the pathological lesion during the operation. This platform does not require the users to possess specific programming skill or knowledge, and is therefore applicable in daily clinical usage.
