Learning and continuous improvement of skills, both surgical and non surgical are goals surgeons pursue all along their training and career. Postoperative debriefing is a key tool to improve performance continuously in one's career. This retrospective analysis of surgical procedures is usually performed through rewatching action through video, which provides surgeons with only an outside view of their actions, and display information such as patient physiological data in ways different than when perceived during live action. We argue that VR (Virtual Reality) through HMDs (Head Mounted Displays) can mitigate and even overcome these limitations through providing an immersive experience that enables surgeons not only to re-watch action (déjà vu), but to re-live action (déjà vécu). Moreover, it can bring new opportunities, such as adopting another person's perspective to better understand their points of view.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
