Effects of mixed reality technology on surgical resection rate of meningioma and limb muscle strength
Objective To investigate the effects of mixed reality(MR)technology on tumor resection rate and limb muscle strength of patients undergoing meningioma surgery.Methods A total of 94 patients with meningioma admitted to our hospital were selected and divided into the control group(47 cases,treated with minimally invasive resection)and the MR group(47 cases,treated with minimally invasive resection combined with MR)according to random number table.The levels of operation-related indexes,tumor resection rate,limb muscle strength,and inflammatory indexes including serum interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-1β(IL-1β),tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α),and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)of patients in the two groups were compared.Results The operation time,blood loss and hospital stay of patients in the MR group were shorter/less than those in the control group(P<0.05),and the tumor resection rate was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).The levels of IL-6,TNF-α,VEGF and IL-1β of patients after operation in the MR group were lower than those in the control group,and the scores of flexion muscle strength and extension muscle strength of hip joint and knee joint were higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion Minimally invasive resection combined with MR is effective for meningioma,which can obviously improve tumor resection rate,reduce the levels of inflammatory factors,and improve the limb muscle strength of patients.
