New devices for anatomic studies and 3-D visualization have proven to be useful for
pre-operative surgical planning and intra-operative procedures; the hypothesis of our study
is that, in this specific case scenario, Surgical Theater and Vesalius (two devices available
at the Besta NeuroSim Center, Foundation I.R.C.C.S. Neurological Institute Carlo Besta) can
improve doctor-patient communication during the process of obtaining informed consent:
through tridimensional representation of anatomic structures of the brain, these devices are
able to help patients understand better their own anatomy and the surgical approach to their
disease.
The aim of our study is therefore to understand whether this high-technology 3D planning,
used as a tool to optimize patient-doctor communication, can effectively improve patients'
understanding of the disease and the surgical procedure they will be going through (for which
they are supposed to sign the consent), as well as the benefits, the risks and all the
possible complications that can derive form surgery.
Surgical Theater and Vesalius may be of great help: thanks to the case-specific 3D
reconstruction of the patient's anatomy, the explanation of the surgical procedure could be
customized for each different person, considering that anyone has certain unique individual
features that a regular standardized system could not possibly take into account.
