Surgical training using simulator. Virtual reality

摘要: Learning of laparoscopic operative skills is often complex and time consuming resulting in a learning curve especially for novices surgery. Virtual reality (VR) simulation was developed as an alternative to conventional training, such active assistance training with artificially perfused organs (Pop-Trainer). VR enables wide range repeatable techniques variable virtual scenarios. For abdominal surgery four different systems (MIST-VR(R), LapSim, Simsurgery, Lap-Mentor) are currently available the modules allow abstract exercises more advanced procedures, sigmoid resection. The effect on performance its impact non-technical evaluated using simulator LapSim after constructive validity study. Novices benefited most from operating room improved significantly training. Good spatial perception positive stress coping strategies also enhanced performance. provides tool shift outside thus contributes patient safety. It would be worthwhile include surgical curriculum. economic reasons regional centers seem effective way realize broad implementation Application development simulators should professionally promoted just flight aviation.
