Abstract
Background and objective: Iatrogenic spinal durotomies occur at a rate of 1% to 17%. Surgical simulation for durotomy repair is needed to provide affordable, accessible, and validated practice. This study sought to design and validate a simple 3-dimensional printed model for spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak repair and to introduce the Rochester original objective structured assessment of technical skills (OSATS) CSF leak (ROCL) repair criteria for assessment.
Methods: A spinal model was designed to mimic a lumbar laminectomy with the L3-5 lamina removed and 3-dimensional printed using Vero polymers. The model was paired with a porcine collagen "dura" that was pressurized using IV saline and overlayed with gel-molded fascial, muscle, and skin layers with an opening. Participants were provided a training model with a 1.5-cm midline durotomy, surgical microinstrument set, microscope, and 6-0 prolene suture. The 25-point ROCL repair criteria were adapted from the original OSATS principles to assess proficiency in surgical repair by 2 blinded neurosurgeons not participating in the trials. Postsimulation survey data regarding model realism were collected.
Results: Six residents and 4 attendings participated. Median operative time in minutes was 13 minutes among residents and 7 minutes among attendings. Moreover, the ROCL score was a median of 19/25 for attendings and 15/25 for residents. The suture angle was statistically more consistent among senior residents and attendings compared with junior residents. Participants agreed that the model was realistic (median 4/5), useful for improving the operative technique (median 5/5), and would increase comfort in spinal CSF leak repair procedures (median 5/5). Each reusable model had a cost of $19.99 if printed with polylactic acid and each replacement dura cost <3¢.
Conclusion: This study presents an affordable, realistic, and educational spinal CSF leak repair model and introduces ROCL for assessment.
