“…This Research Topic also confirms the keen attention being paid by the surgical community to digital medicine and the use of data analysis for surgical planning (11,12). The current landscape of AI in surgical simulations is outlined comprehensively by Park et al The authors provide numerous examples that demonstrate the effectiveness of AI-powered surgical simulators in clinical practice.…”

“…Respondents did highlight the importance of microsurgical skills and the challenges of training the next generation of neurovascular surgeons. Technology can, of course, improve the apparent skill level of the surgeon either by improving their understanding of the anatomy ( 46 ) or providing novel training opportunities ( 47 ), but at present, this is at best a partial substitute for the operative experience gained from case volume.…”

IntroductionMicrosurgery for the clipping of intracranial aneurysms remains a technically challenging and high-risk area of neurosurgery. We aimed to describe the technical challenges of aneurysm surgery, and the scope for technological innovations to overcome these barriers from the perspective of practising neurovascular surgeons.Materials and MethodsConsultant neurovascular surgeons and members of the British Neurovascular Group (BNVG) were electronically invited to participate in an online survey regarding surgery for both ruptured and unruptured aneurysms. The free text survey asked three questions: what do they consider to be the principal technical barriers to aneurysm clipping? What technological advances have previously contributed to improving the safety and efficacy of aneurysm clipping? What technological advances do they anticipate improving the safety and efficacy of aneurysm clipping in the future? A qualitative synthesis of responses was performed using multi-rater emergent thematic analysis.ResultsThe most significant reported historical advances in aneurysm surgery fell into five themes: (1) optimising clip placement, (2) minimising brain retraction, (3) tissue handling, (4) visualisation and orientation, and (5) management of intraoperative rupture. The most frequently reported innovation by far was indocyanine green angiography (84% of respondents). The three most commonly cited future advances were hybrid surgical and endovascular techniques, advances in intraoperative imaging, and patient-specific simulation and planning.ConclusionsWhile some surgeons perceive that the rate of innovation in aneurysm clipping has been dwarfed in recent years by endovascular techniques, surgeons surveyed highlighted a broad range of future technologies that have the potential to continue to improve the safety of aneurysm surgery in the future.

“…This permits VR planification of complex surgeries and the ability to elucidate operative prognostication and anticipate decision making during surgery [6]. Zaed et al have even proven a reduction in the time needed to perform aneurysm clipping when a preoperative study was carried out through VR technology [37].…”

Our study explores the integration of three-dimensional (3D) virtual reality (VR) and 3D printing in neurosurgical preoperative planning. Traditionally, surgeons relied on two-dimensional (2D) imaging for complex neuroanatomy analyses, requiring significant mental visualization. Fortunately, nowadays advanced technology enables the creation of detailed 3D models from patient scans, utilizing different software. Afterwards, these models can be experienced through VR systems, offering comprehensive preoperative rehearsal opportunities. Additionally, 3D models can be 3D printed for hands-on training, therefore enhancing surgical preparedness. This technological integration transforms the paradigm of neurosurgical planning, ensuring safer procedures.
