“…Bassil et al (2017) [ 35 ] reported a novel learning method that combined VR simulation and animal models for training in operative and diagnostic hysteroscopy. In this study, end-year obstetrics and gynecology residents performed different surgical skills on VR simulators as well as animal specimens (bovine uterus and bladder) after receiving a full-day workshop.…”

“…Of the articles we included in our review, 11 and 13 studies were based on VR and AR, respectively. Among the VR studies, one of them was based on non-immersive VR and was performed using a monitor or a screen [ 52 ], four articles were based on semi-immersive VR [ 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ], and six of them were based on full-immersive VR [ 3 , 12 , 39 , 46 , 47 , 51 ].…”

“…Most of the simulations with semi-immersive VR were performed using one or several monitors and a surface or platform to perform surgical maneuvers such as VIST simulator (Mentice, Gothenburg, Sweden) for endovascular training [ 36 ], LAP Mentor (Simbionix, Cleveland, OH, USA) for laparoscopic surgery [ 34 ], VitraMed Pelvicsim and HystSim simulators (Zurich, Switzerland) [ 35 ] or GI Mentor (3D Systems, Rock Hill, SC, USA) [ 37 ]. The most frequently used full-immersive VR gadgets in the articles consisted of HTC Vive (High Tech Computer Corporation, Taiwan) [ 12 , 47 , 51 ] and Oculus Go (Meta Platforms, Inc., Menlo Park, CA, USA) [ 46 ].…”

Virtual reality and augmented reality are new but rapidly expanding topics in medicine. In virtual reality, users are immersed in a three-dimensional environment, whereas in augmented reality, computer-generated images are superimposed on the real world. Despite advances in human medicine, the number of published articles in veterinary medicine is low. These cutting-edge technologies can be used in combination with existing methods in veterinary medicine to achieve diagnostic/therapeutic and educational goals. The purpose of our review was to evaluate studies for their use of virtual reality and augmented reality in veterinary medicine, as well as human medicine with animal trials, to report results and the state of the art. We collected all of the articles we included in our review by screening the Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science databases. Of the 24 included studies, 11 and 13 articles belonged to virtual reality and augmented reality, respectively. Based on these articles, we determined that using these technologies has a positive impact on the scientific output of students and residents, can reduce training costs, and can be used in training/educational programs. Furthermore, using these tools can promote ethical standards. We reported the absence of standard operation protocols and equipment costs as study limitations.

“…The percentage of gynecologists who still perform diagnostic hysteroscopy in a questionable way, who are not familiar with the endoscopic view, and who use incorrect methods to gain access to the uterine cavity may still be high. Therefore, there is a need for training programs that aim to provide theoretical concepts and practical principles to perform the correct technique and to provide adequate training to gynecologists [ 12 , 13 ].…”

“…In the last decade, several models have been proposed for training in hysteroscopy. In order to reproduce the anatomy of the uterus and the characteristics of its tissues as accurately as possible, simulators based on vegetables and animal models, as well as synthetic and virtual models, have been designed and described [ 12 , 13 ].…”

Background and Objectives: Diagnostic hysteroscopy is the gold standard in the diagnosis of intrauterine pathology and is becoming an essential tool in the daily practice of gynecology. Training programs for physicians are necessary to ensure adequate preparation and learning curve before approaching patients. The aim of this study was to describe the “Arbor Vitae” method for training in diagnostic hysteroscopy and to test its impact on the knowledge and skills of trainees using a customized questionnaire. Materials and Methods: A three-day hysteroscopy workshop combining theory and practical “hands on “sessions with dry and wet labs has been described. The aim of the course is to teach indications, instruments, the basic principles of the technique by which the procedure should be performed, and how to recognize and manage the pathologies that can be identified by diagnostic hysteroscopy. To test this training method and its impact on the knowledge and skills of the trainees, a customized 10-question questionnaire was administered before and after the course. Results: The questionnaire was administered to 34 participants. All trainees completed the questionnaire, and no missing responses were recorded. Regarding the characteristics of the participants, 76.5% had less than 1 year of experience in performing diagnostic hysteroscopy and 55.9% reported performing fewer than 15 procedures in their career. For 9 of the 10 questions embedded in the questionnaire, there was a significant improvement in the scores between pre- and post-course, demonstrating a perceived significant improvement in theoretical/practical skills by the trainees. Conclusions: The Arbor Vitae training model is a realistic and effective way to improve the theoretical and practical skills required to perform correct diagnostic hysteroscopy. This training model has great potential for novice practitioners to achieve an adequate level of proficiency before performing diagnostic hysteroscopy on live patients.
