Enhancing Patient Comprehension in Skull-Base Meningioma Surgery through 3D Volumetric Reconstructions: A Cost-Effective Approach.
Background: Understanding complex neurosurgical procedures and diseases, such as skull-base meningiomas, is challenging for patients due to the intricate anatomy and the involvement of critical neurovascular structures. Enhanced patient comprehension is crucial for satisfaction and improved clinical outcomes. Patient-specific 3D models have demonstrated benefits in patient education, though they are costly and time-intensive to produce. This study investigates whether the use of 3D volumetric reconstructions with anatomical segmentation, widely available via neuronavigation software, can improve patients' understanding of skull-base meningiomas, surgical procedures, and potential complications.
Materials and methods: This study included twenty patients with skull-base meningiomas. Three-dimensional volume reconstructions and anatomical segmentations were created using preoperative MRI sequences with neuronavigation software. These reconstructions were used during patient consultations where a surgeon explained key aspects of the disease, the surgical intervention, and potential complications. A questionnaire assessed the patients' perceptions of the utility of these 3D reconstructions.
Results: The majority of patients (75%) found the 3D volumetric reconstructions and anatomical segmentations to be more beneficial than MRI images for understanding their disease. Similarly, 75% reported improved comprehension of the surgical approach, and 85% felt that the reconstructions enhanced their understanding of potential surgical complications. Overall, 65% of patients considered the 3D reconstructions valuable in medical consultations.
Conclusions: Our study indicates that using accessible, cost-effective, and non-time-consuming 3D volumetric reconstructions with anatomical segmentation enhances patient understanding of skull-base meningiomas. Further research is necessary to confirm these findings, compare these reconstructions with physical 3D models and virtual reality models, and evaluate their impact on patient anxiety regarding the surgical procedure.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Personalized Medicine (JPM; ISSN 2075-4426) is an international, open access journal aimed at bringing all aspects of personalized medicine to one platform. JPM publishes cutting edge, innovative preclinical and translational scientific research and technologies related to personalized medicine (e.g., pharmacogenomics/proteomics, systems biology). JPM recognizes that personalized medicine—the assessment of genetic, environmental and host factors that cause variability of individuals—is a challenging, transdisciplinary topic that requires discussions from a range of experts. For a comprehensive perspective of personalized medicine, JPM aims to integrate expertise from the molecular and translational sciences, therapeutics and diagnostics, as well as discussions of regulatory, social, ethical and policy aspects. We provide a forum to bring together academic and clinical researchers, biotechnology, diagnostic and pharmaceutical companies, health professionals, regulatory and ethical experts, and government and regulatory authorities.
