Real-time Cataract Surgery Simulation for Training
Cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, normally due to natural aging changes, and involving at least half of the population over 65 years. Cataract extraction is the only solution for restoring a clear vision, and nowadays is probably the most frequently practiced surgical procedure. This paper describes a novel virtual reality simulation system for cataract surgery training, involvi...
متن کاملReal Time Simulation of Phaco-emulsification for Cataract Surgery Training
We present a real–time simulation of the phaco-emulsification task in a virtual reality training system for cataract surgery. Phaco–emulsification consists in breaking in small fragments and completely removing the eye crystalline lens by employing an ultra–sound tool called phaco–emulsificator. Our approach employs a mesh-less shape– based dynamic algorithm integrated with a simplex geometry r...
متن کاملDoes operative experience during residency correlate with reported competency of recent general surgery graduates?
BACKGROUND Identification of attributes of residency training that predict competency would improve surgical education. We hypothesized that case experience during residency would correlate with self-reported competency of recent graduates. METHODS Aggregate case log data of residents enrolled in 2 general surgery programs were collected over a 12-month period and stratified into Surgical Cou...
متن کاملDoes Diarrhoea Causes Cataract? Can Cataract be Prevented by Aspirin?
Loss of transparency of the lens is termed cataract which is one of the commonest causes of blindness throughout the world. This major health problem appears to be much commoner in many developing countries such as India and Pakistan, where it causes visual disability at a substantially earlier age and several hypotheses have been put forward to explain this higher prevalence in these areas. Re...
متن کاملDoes surgical technique influence cataract surgery contamination?
PURPOSE To compare cataract surgery contamination rates in large-incision extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) and phacoemulsification (PE), we studied 65 cases prospectively. METHODS Thirty-five cases were operated by large-incision ECCE (Group I) and 30 by PE (Group II). Conjunctival swab cultures were taken immediately before surgery and anterior chamber aspirate was taken for culture ...
