Abstract
In the field of neurosurgery, a variety of knowledge has been accumulated through a lot of surgery experiences. Due to the difficulty of expression, not all of the points that skilled neurosurgeons pay attention to during neurosurgery and the detailed precautions and procedures obtained from experience have been clearly stated and shared. Postoperative reports, incident reports, and accident reports are effective means of recording and sharing empirical knowledge, but they are costly to analyze. So, new methods of knowledge sharing are needed. In this study, we propose an interface based on Virtual Reality as a new interface. In order to construct a virtual reality interface, we utilize the VR Head Mounted Display. By projecting a model of a human head made by 3D Computer Graphics technology in a virtual reality space, we can grasp the structure more accurately. It is also possible to see at the same time the empirical knowledge that neurosurgeons accumulate through surgery while confirming the surgical procedure. The VR Head Mounted Display makes the experience more immersive. In addition, Head Mounted Display has been put into practical use, and its operating functions have been improved. Therefore, it is easy to operate and can be used as an interface for recording according to neural medical ontology. In order to accumulate and share the empirical knowledge of neurosurgeons, we investigated a 3D brain model interface using Virtual Reality.

Refers to cases that have been experienced as near misses or surprises in daily practice, and are potential cases that have the potential to develop into adverse medical events, although they did not actually cause injury to the patient in most cases [2].
- 2.
An event, whether preventable or caused by negligence, in which an inappropriate medical act (including a failure to perform a necessary medical act) in the course of medical treatment results in an unintended injury to a patient and the course of the injury is affected to a certain degree. An event in which an inappropriate medical act (including a failure to perform a necessary medical act) in the course of medical care results in unintentional injury to a patient, whether preventable or due to negligence, and the course of the injury has a certain degree of impact [2].
