Rajesh Aggarwal,Oliver T Mytton,Milliard Derbrew,David Hananel,Mark Heydenburg,Barry Issenberg,Catherine MacAulay,Mary E. Mancini,Takeshi Morimoto,Nathaniel J. Soper,Amitai Ziv,Richard Reznick +11 more
TL;DR: Simulation can successfully promote the competencies of medical expert, communicator and collaborator and further work is required to develop the exact role of simulation as a training mechanism for scholarly skills, professionalism, management and health advocacy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laparoscopic skills training and assessment.
TL;DR: The tools currently available for training and assessment in laparoscopic surgery are reviewed to assess the need for further development in skills laboratories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proving the effectiveness of virtual reality simulation for training in laparoscopic surgery.
Rajesh Aggarwal,Jonnie Ward,Indran Balasundaram,Parvinderpal Sains,Thanos Athanasiou,Ara Darzi +5 more
TL;DR: A proficiency based virtual reality training curriculum shortens the learning curve on real laparoscopic procedures when compared with traditional training methods, and supports the need for simulator-based practice to be integrated into surgical training programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Virtual reality training for surgical trainees in laparoscopic surgery
Myura Nagendran,Kurinchi Selvan Gurusamy,Rajesh Aggarwal,Marilena Loizidou,Brian R. Davidson +4 more
TL;DR: The results showed that the operative performance in the virtual reality group was significantly better than the control group and the results became non-significant when the random-effects model was used, and two trials that could not be included in the meta-analysis showed a reduction in operating time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic review of randomized controlled trials on the effectiveness of virtual reality training for laparoscopic surgery.
TL;DR: The aim of this review was to determine whether virtual reality (VR) training can supplement and/or replace conventional laparoscopic training in surgical trainees with limited or no Laparoscopic experience.
