Brief Summary

To evaluate usefulness of Surgical Theater's Patient Engagement 360VR platform in helping align patient expectations and improve patient satisfaction and understanding in spinal surgery consults.

Detailed Description

Surgical Theater is a company that has developed a platform which can be used to describe and explain spinal surgery to patient before they undergo the procedure. The platform specifically implements data from the patient's own MRI and CT scans, creating a 3d reconstruction that can be seen through a virtual reality lens. This technology was developed to help clarify any concerns patient's may have before surgery, and help them better appreciate what will occur in the OR.

Surgical theater has FDA clearance for patient interaction and engagement. Our study is to take surgical theater into our clinics and, after a patient is defined as a surgical candidate, use surgical theater to provide spatial learning and comprehension through modeling so they better understand their surgical plan. Only the SRP system will be used for this study (Surgical Planner).

The intervention is showing surgical theater to patients identified for surgery in clinic routinely. Surgical theater will be offered to all patients offered surgery. No other changes in practice will be done.
