Abstrakt: Background: Head-mounted display (HMD) arises as an alternative display system for surgery. This study aimed to assess the utility of a stereoscopic HMD for exoscopic neurosurgery. Methods: The leading operator and assistants were asked to assess the various aspects of the HMD characteristics compared to the monitor display using a visual analog scale (VAS)-based questionnaire. The VAS score ranged from 0 to 10 (0, HMD was significantly inferior to the monitor; 5, HMD and monitor display were equal; and 10, HMD was significantly superior to the monitor). Results: The surgeons and assistants used and evaluated HMD in seven exoscopic surgeries: three tumor removal, one aneurysm clipping, one anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, and two cervical laminectomy surgeries. The leading operators' assessment of HMD-based surgery was not different from monitor-based surgery; however, the assistants evaluated the field of view, overall image quality, and the assisting procedure as better in MHD-based surgery than monitor-based surgery (P = 0.039, 0.045, and 0.013, respectively). Conclusion: HMD-based exoscopic neurosurgery can be performed at a similar quality as monitor-based surgery. Surgical assistants may benefit from using HMD-based surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
