“…Furthermore, with the increased training demands of trainees and trainer constraints in India, there is an imminent need to address these challenges with effective tools that prepare a trainee for the operating room. [30] Future extensions of this work could include a study into the cost-effectiveness of this approach compared with mentor-mentee training, the use of simulated OR experience in a skills lab setting and a multi-national validation study to confirm the effects seen here.…”

Virtual reality (VR) training is widely used in several minimal invasive surgery (MIS) training curricula for procedural training. However, VR training in its current state lack immersive training environments, such as using head-mounted displays that is implemented in military or aviation training and even entertainment. The virtual operating room simulation setup (VORSS) is explored in this study to determine the effectiveness of immersive training in MIS. Twenty-eight surgeons and surgical trainees performed a laparoscopic cholecystectomy on the VORSS comprising of a head-mounted 360-degree realistic OR surrounding on a VR laparoscopic simulator. The VORSS replicated a full setup of instruments and surgical team-members as well as some of the distractions occurring during surgical procedures. Questionnaires were followed by semi-structured interviews to collect the data. Experts and novices found the VORSS to be intuitive and easy to use (p = 0.001). The outcome of the usability test, applying QUESI and NASA-TLX, reflected the usability of the VORSS (p < 0.05), at the cognitive level, which indicates a good sense of immersion and satisfaction, when performing the procedure within VORSS. The need for personalized experience within the setup was strongly noted from most of the participants. The VORSS for procedural training has the potential to become a useful tool to provide immersive training in MIS surgery. Further optimizing of the VORSS realism and introduction of distractors in the OR should result in an improvement of the system.

“…"(PGY 4 resident). Accordingly, simulators are known as cost-effective tools for training and utilizing the residents' creativity (12,13). Among several studies comparing the effectiveness of the simulators with the traditional and cadaver trainings (12,14,15), some signi cant difference in the performance of residents between simulation and traditional method was found.…”

Objective Surgery simulators have gained popularity in medical education during recent decades especially following COVID-19 pandemics. This study was designed to find the most effective and applicable model for development of total knee arthroplasty surgery simulator. Method The protocol of this study is evaluated and confirmed by Tehran university of Medical Sciences research committee (No: 52841-101-1-1400) in March 2021. This is a qualitative study using focus group discussion (FGD) for data gathering. Three FGDs were performed through online platform. Eligible five orthopedics residents, four fellowship trainees, and seven university professors from 3 different university hospitals were interviewed. Results The main domains of discussion were the necessity of a TKA simulator, virtual vs. physical model, bone and soft tissue characteristics, and the feedback system. 12% of participants (2 senior residents) said a virtual model has more advantages than a physical one while the other two thought physical model is more applicable. 12% of them (One senior resident and a fellowship trainee) suggested a mixed model would be more useful. The essential parts of the TKA simulator were mainly addressed by fellowship trainees focusing on presence of foot, ankle and hip in the model and inclusion of vital soft tissue elements and ligaments and tendons (especially collateral ligaments). Gap balancing was noticed as a crucial part by 40% of participants (senior residents and fellowships). To improve the simulator, participants suggested that it should have a modular design with sensors to alarm any damage to vital elements and feedbacks given during the procedures. Conclusion Through this study, the participants highlighted the most important parts of hard and soft tissues in the model, as well as the fundamental points in designing the TKA simulator.

“…Si bien existe mucha información y tecnología disponible, la velocidad de aprendizaje no está en la transmisión de la información sino en el procesamiento de esta. Por ello, los mentores en cirugía deben conocer diferentes estrategias pedagógicas y entender que la experiencia del residente juega un rol fundamental en el proceso de aprendizaje; de manera que el conocimiento se establezca a partir de su transformación en experiencia, tal y como lo plantea Kolb en su teoría del aprendizaje experiencial que también reza en un frase antigua: "Dime y lo olvido, muéstrame y lo recuerdo, involúcrame y lo aprendo" (13) .…”

La mentoría en cirugía es al arte de guiar a un futuro cirujano hacia objetivos académicos y profesionales específicos que determinarán probablemente el éxito en su carrera. Esta mentoría requiere una sólida relación mentor-residente y un mentor con ciertas características como: la productividad en investigación, la comprensión de la pedagogía y la aplicación de la tecnología educativa. El mentor en cirugía es el que guía adecuadamente las diversas experiencias clínico-quirúrgicas del residente para lograr un aprendizaje significativo. La experiencia y la motivación son las principales características de un buen mentor, pero actualmente la disponibilidad de tiempo y el dominio de la tecnología educativa serán fundamentales para construir una buena relación con el mentoreado.
