NeuroVR

Today’s neurosurgery residents face time restrictions in acquiring technical skills and proficiencies before they operate on real patients. Practicing neurosurgeons are challenged to meet the growing certification requirements and master new techniques. With NeuroVR, both residents and surgeons can practice open cranial and endoscopic brain surgery skills and procedures in a realistic training environment.

NeuroVR replicates an open neurosurgical procedure, including the stereoscopic view and ergonomics of an operating room microscope. The simulator captures objective metrics on technique, performance, and completion time. With modules ranging from fundamental instrument handling to tumor resection and meningioma, NeuroVR allows self-directed practice in a risk-free environment, resulting in reduced medical errors and better patient outcomes.
