Training in different virtual surgical simulators did not improve performance in the Procedicus Virtual Arthroscopy (VA) Knee Simulator. Further research is needed to explore transfer effects in experienced trainees.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Surgical Training
  • Virtual Reality in Medicine

Background:

  • Previous studies demonstrated skill improvement within the same virtual simulator.
  • The impact of training across different visual-spatial simulators on surgical task performance remains largely unexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if training in varied visual-spatial simulators affects performance in the Procedicus Virtual Arthroscopy (VA) Knee Simulator.
  • To assess skill transfer between different virtual surgical training environments.

Main Methods:

  • A quasi-transfer study involving 28 medical students.
  • Random allocation into an experimental group and a control group (14 students each).

Main Results:

  • No significant improvement in Procedicus VA Knee Simulator performance was observed after training in dissimilar simulators.
  • No significant correlation was found between performance in the Procedicus VA Knee and Minimally Invasive Surgical Trainer (MIST) simulators.

Conclusions:

  • One hour of training in diverse virtual environments did not enhance virtual arthroscopy skills.
  • Skill transfer may be influenced by trainee experience and perceived situational similarity, warranting further investigation in expert populations.
