The Benefits of VR Simulators for General Surgery

Let’s first touch on the background.

General surgery is a demanding and complex field that requires a high level of skill, knowledge, and experience. To become proficient in general surgery, trainees need to practice various techniques and different patient scenarios and conditions, but this is not always possible or ethical in a live clinical setting.

Simulation allows trainees to experience difficult, dangerous, or uncommon events or situations in a safe, reproducible and controlled environment where learning may be maximized, and no patients are placed in jeopardy.  But simulation tools have evolved considerably over time and extensive research has shown that the use of simulation in healthcare education can actually significantly reduce costs, as well as improving trainee proficiency.  See how Surgical Science can help with your simulation needs.

“Simulation training increased technical performance to the same experience level as after 20-50 laparoscopic procedures on real patients and halved operation time.”

Surgical Science is pushing the boundaries of technology and creating virtual reality surgical simulators with the following benefits:

  • Realism – provides true-to-life tissue simulation with real instruments and haptic feedback
  • Basic Skills – enables honing core surgical skills before moving on to complete procedures
  • Self-instructed training – allows independent practice of skills and procedures
  • Ready-to-use curricula – available curricula that you help get started with simulation training
  • Performance Metrics – helps assessing and monitoring trainee performance and proficiency
  • Team Training – simulates collaboration and communication between team members
