Virtual reality surgical simulators enhance minimally invasive surgery training. The HERMES Project developed a system to simulate coronary angioplasty, improving surgical education and patient safety.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Surgical Education Technology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) requires specialized skills distinct from conventional techniques.
  • Effective training is crucial for safe and successful execution of interventional procedures.
  • Traditional training methods may not fully prepare surgeons for MIS complexities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of computer-based simulators with tactile feedback for surgical training.
  • To explore the potential of virtual reality (VR) surgical simulators in medical education.
  • To present the HERMES Project's integrated system for simulating coronary angioplasty interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an integrated system within the HERMES Project (HEmatology Research virtual MEdical System).
