Background
Minimally invasive lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) offers advantages over traditional approaches, providing indirect decompression of neural elements and deformity correction while avoiding many challenges and risks of anterior and posterior approaches. Mastering this technique requires a specialized team, advanced equipment, and sufficient case exposure. Current training is limited to the classic educational model, and alternative training methods such as cadaver labs can be inconvenient, inaccessible, expensive, and incompatible with intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) systems.
Objective
The aim of this study was to create a proof-of-concept, low-cost, fully synthetic lateral lumbar surgical simulator and to increase awareness of the lack of current training alternatives.
Methods
Standard engineering design and expert interviews of attending neurosurgeons, nurses, engineers, and medical device representatives (n=20) were utilized to determine key el
