This study introduces a virtual reality surgical simulator for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) training. The simulator enhances surgeon skills through realistic virtual environments and haptic feedback, improving surgical practice.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Surgical Training
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) offers reduced patient trauma and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.
  • The complexity of MIS necessitates extensive surgeon training.
  • Current training methods may not fully replicate the intricacies of MIS procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel general surgery simulator for training surgeons in minimally invasive surgery.
  • To develop a training tool that closely mimics real surgical interventions.
  • To provide surgeons with a realistic practice environment for MIS.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a virtual reality surgical simulator with customizable environments.
  • Integration of patient-specific or synthetically generated organs for practice.

  • Implementation of haptic interfaces with force feedback for a tactile sense.

    • Main Results:

    • The simulator creates realistic virtual environments for surgical practice.
    • Haptic feedback provides a crucial sense of touch during simulated interventions.
    • The system supports training on both real patient organ models and synthetic pathologies.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed simulator offers a valuable tool for enhancing surgeon proficiency in minimally invasive surgery.
    • Realistic virtual environments and haptic feedback are key components for effective surgical training.
    • This technology can help bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in MIS.
