Virtual reality training for endoscopic surgery: voluntary or obligatory?

Endoscopic surgery training using virtual reality and deformable tissue simulation

Surgical training systems based on virtual reality (VR) and simulation techniques for tissue deformation may represent a more cost-e!ective and e$cient alternative to traditional training methods. Additionally, VR is a technology that can teach surgeons new procedures and can determine their level of competence before they operate on patients. At Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (FZK), a virtual rea...

Virtual Reality Training for Endoscopic Surgery Composing a Validated Training Program for Basic Skills

Virtual Reality Based Simulation of Endoscopic Surgery

Virtual reality (VR)-based surgical simulator systems offer a very elegant approach to enriching and enhancing traditional training in endoscopic surgery. However, while a number of VR simulator systems have been proposed and realized in the past few years, most of these systems are far from being able to provide a reasonably realistic surgical environment. We explore the current limits for rea...

Virtual reality based surgery simulation for endoscopic gynaecology.

Virtual reality (VR) based surgical simulator systems offer very elegant possibilities to both enrich and enhance traditional education in endoscopic surgery. However, while a wide range of VR simulator systems have been proposed and realized in the past few years, most of these systems are far from able to provide a reasonably realistic surgical environment. We explore the basic approaches to ...

Virtual Reality Simulator for Phacoemulsification Cataract Surgery Education and Training

Computer systems are taking an important role in the field of medicine with the introduction of electronic biomedical devices in diagnosis and treatment, where medical records obtained from the devices are documented and processed as reference to medical panels. The capability of latest computed tomography technology in generating three-dimensional patient model for graphical representation is ...
