The concept of minimally invasive spine therapy (MIST) has been proposed as a treatment strategy to reduce the need for overall patient care, including not only minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) but also conservative treatment and rehabilitation. To maximize the effectiveness of patient care in spine surgery, the educational needs of medical students, residents, and patient rehabilitation can be enhanced by digital transformation (DX), including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and extended reality (XR), three-dimensional (3D) medical images and holograms; wearable sensors, high-performance video cameras, fifth-generation wireless system (5G) and wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi), artificial intelligence, and head-mounted displays (HMDs). Furthermore, to comply with the guidelines for social distancing due to the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic, the use of DX to maintain healthcare and education is becoming more innovative than ever before. In medical education, with the evolution of science and technology, it has become mandatory to provide a highly interactive educational environment and experience using DX technology for residents and medical students, known as digital natives. This study describes an approach to pre- and intraoperative medical education and postoperative rehabilitation using DX in the field of spine surgery that was implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic and will be utilized thereafter.

数字化转型将改变脊柱外科的医学教育和康复

微创脊柱治疗 (MIST) 的概念已被提出作为一种治疗策略，以减少对整体患者护理的需求，不仅包括微创脊柱手术 (MISS)，还包括保守治疗和康复。为了最大限度地提高脊柱手术患者护理的有效性，医学生、住院医师和患者康复的教育需求可以通过数字化转型 (DX) 来增强，包括虚拟现实 (VR)、增强现实 (AR)、混合现实 (MR) )、扩展现实 (XR)、三维 (3D) 医学图像和全息图；可穿戴传感器、高性能摄像机、第五代无线系统 (5G) 和无线保真 (Wi-Fi)、人工智能和头戴式显示器 (HMD)。此外，为了遵守因意外 COVID-19 大流行而导致的社交距离准则，使用 DX 来维持医疗保健和教育正变得比以往任何时候都更具创新性。在医学教育中，随着科学技术的发展，为被称为数字原住民的居民和医学生提供使用 DX 技术的高度互动的教育环境和体验已成为强制性要求。本研究描述了在 COVID-19 大流行期间实施的脊柱外科领域中使用 DX 进行术前和术中医学教育和术后康复的方法，该方法将在此后使用。使用 DX 技术为被称为数字原住民的居民和医学生提供高度互动的教育环境和体验已成为强制性要求。本研究描述了在 COVID-19 大流行期间实施的脊柱外科领域中使用 DX 进行术前和术中医学教育和术后康复的方法，该方法将在此后使用。使用 DX 技术为被称为数字原住民的居民和医学生提供高度互动的教育环境和体验已成为强制性要求。本研究描述了在 COVID-19 大流行期间实施的脊柱外科领域中使用 DX 进行术前和术中医学教育和术后康复的方法，该方法将在此后使用。
