A virtual reality-based data analysis for optimizing freehand external ventricular drain insertion

ConclusionsThe proposed data analysis method is helpful to optimize the key parameters of the preoperative planning, and provides useful references for neurosurgeons to perform the freehand EVD insertion. The EVD insertion experiments on 3D printing model had a success rate of 93.75%, which verified the effectiveness of the data analysis.
