629. Bedside Wearable Mixed Reality Holograms Guide External Ventricular Drain Insertion

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Yi Li presents a low-cost, portable approach using Microsoft HoloLens, a wearable mixed reality device, to guide Externally Ventricular Drain (EVD) insertion. By attaching ECG electrodes on the patient's head and performing a CT scan, pre-op data is used to determine the entry and target points, as well as the insertion trajectories, orientation, and depth. The neurosurgeon wears the headset and visualizes holograms of the surgical plan in the physical world. A study comparing holographic guidance with a control group showed higher accuracy, lower additional time, fewer passes, and less target deviation. The presenter suggests potential applications for intracranial hematoma aspiration and superficial tumor section.
