TL;DR: In this article, the use of VR surgical simulation to train skills and reduce error risk in the operating room (OR) has been demonstrated in a prospective, randomized, blinded stud.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virtual reality simulation for the operating room: proficiency-based training as a paradigm shift in surgical skills training.

TL;DR: Virtual reality (VR) for improved performance of MIS is now a reality, however, VR is only a training tool that must be thoughtfully introduced into a surgical training curriculum for it to successfully improve surgical technical skills.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proficiency-based virtual reality training significantly reduces the error rate for residents during their first 10 laparoscopic cholecystectomies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of proficiency-based VR training on the outcome of the first 10 entire cholecystectomies performed by novices was evaluated. And the results showed that VR training has been shown to improve intraoperative performance during part of a laparoscopic choleccystectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fundamental principles of validation, and reliability: rigorous science for the assessment of surgical education and training
TL;DR: There is no ‘‘magic bullet’’ experimental methodology for surgical research; instead, there is a range of experimental designs that should be applied appropriately to answer the pertinent research question, and research design should vary depending on the circumstances.
Journal ArticleDOI
An ergonomic analysis of the fulcrum effect in the acquisition of endoscopic skills.
TL;DR: The fulcrum effect has a major detrimental influence on acquisition of endoscopic skills and the role of image inversion in clinical endoscopic training is investigated.
