Teleimmersive virtual reality training significantly improved surgical residents' understanding of complex liver anatomy. This innovative approach demonstrated effective knowledge retention, overcoming traditional educational barriers for surgical training.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Anatomy
  • Virtual Reality

Background:

  • Accurate understanding of liver anatomy is crucial for surgical interventions.
  • Teleimmersive virtual reality offers enhanced visualization and interactivity for complex spatial relationships.
  • This pilot study explored teleimmersion for teaching hepatic surgical principles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a teleimmersive virtual reality environment for teaching hepatic surgical anatomy.
  • To assess knowledge acquisition and retention among surgical residents.

Main Methods:

  • A teleimmersive environment with virtual models of liver segments and vasculature was developed.
  • A workshop was conducted with 6 senior general surgery residents at two locations.

  • Pre- and post-workshop examinations were administered to assess knowledge gain.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant improvement in mean test scores from pretest (17.67) to posttest (23.67) (P <.02).
    • No significant difference in performance between residents at the instructor's location and the remote location.
    • Complete knowledge retention demonstrated at 6-month delayed testing.

    Conclusions:

    • Teleimmersive environments effectively teach complex surgical anatomy, overcoming traditional educational barriers.
    • This technology facilitates remote interaction for surgical educators and trainees globally.
    • Virtual anatomic information in teleimmersive settings supports achieving educational objectives.
