“…As a possible reason for the lack of significance, the authors speculated about an insufficient training schedule with too few practice hours and large time gaps. In a large study of 279 medical students without prior experience in VR laparoscopy (VRl), video game expertise was a predictive factor of higher baseline VRl scores through multivariate analysis (9). Interestingly, factors related to self-confidence were also predictive of first time VRl performance.…”

BackgroundPlaying video games in childhood may help achieve advanced laparoscopic skills later in life. The virtual operating room will soon become a reality, as “doctor games 2.0” will doubtlessly begin to incorporate virtual laparoscopic techniques.ObjectivesTo teach surgical skills to schoolchildren in order to attract them to urology as a professional choice later in life.Materials and MethodsAs part of EAU Urology Week 2010, 108 school children aged 15–19 attended a seminar with lectures and simulators (laparoscopy, TUR, cystoscopy, and suture sets) at the 62nd Congress of the German Society of Urology in Düsseldorf. A Pub-Med and Google Scholar search was also performed in order to review the beneficial effects of early virtual surgical training. MeSh terms used were “video games,” “children,” and “surgical skills.” Searches were performed without restriction for a certain period of time.ResultsIn terms of publicity for urology, EAU Urology Week, and the German Society of Urology, the event was immensely successful. Regarding the literature search, four relevant publications were found involving children. An additional three articles evaluated the usefulness of video gaming in medical students and residents.ConclusionsMaking use of virtual reality to attract and educate a new generation of urologists is an important step in designing the future of urology.

“…Anecdotal observations that young trainees with an interest in playing video games showed good laparoscopic operating skills has been followed by research showing that residents who like video games make fewer errors on a VR trainer and were faster and made less errors on a laparoscopic simulator . Other studies have shown faster learning on a VR trainer by video gamers .…”

In this paper, we review the literature to date on technical competence in surgeons; how it can be defined, taught to trainees and assessed. We also examine how we can predict which candidates for surgical training will most likely develop technical competence. While technical competency is just one aspect of what makes a good surgeon, we have recognized a need to review the literature in this area and to combine this with broader definitions of competency. Our review found that several methods are available to objectively measure, assess and predict technical competence and should be used in surgical training.

Virtual reality laparoscopy: which potential trainee starts with a higher proficiency level?

Abstract: Frequency of video gaming is associated with quality of first-time VRL performance. Video game experience may be used as trainee selection criteria for tailored concepts of VRL training programs.
