Abstract:
With the development of spinal surgery technology, improving the accuracy of surgery, minimizing the trauma of surgery, and individualization of surgical plans have become the hot spot for the future development of spinal surgery. How to obtain the maximum surgical effect with the smallest trauma, how to reduce the amount of radiation that the patient bears during the operation, and how to shorten the operation time while maintaining the effect of the operation are issues that require further attention. Currently, as a research hotspot in the field of spinal surgery, virtual reality technology becomes more and more relevant. It has shown its advantages in various aspects such as training of operation technique, teaching of theoretical knowledge, intraoperative assistance, and postoperative rehabilitation. However, the current application of virtual reality technology in spinal surgery is still in its infancy. This article attempts to review the application of virtual reality technology in spinal surgery simulation training, intraoperative assistance, and pain treatment, summarizeits application status, and discuss the future of its development, providing insights to promote the integration of the medical practice and engineering technology.
