This study introduces a low-cost hybrid system for ophthalmic surgical training, using porcine eyes and instrumented platforms to record procedure data. The goal is to develop objective skill assessment models for surgical trainees.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Education
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Ophthalmic surgery demands extensive fine motor skill development.
  • Current virtual reality simulators have high costs and limited model availability.
  • Objective skill assessment in surgical training remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a low-cost hybrid training system for ophthalmic cataract surgery.
  • To instrument a training platform for recording interaction forces and video data.
  • To assess the feasibility of using recorded data for objective skill assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a hybrid approach with a standard porcine eye model for cataract training.
  • Developed an instrumented platform to capture interaction forces and video during procedures.

  • Collected preliminary procedural data from expert ophthalmic surgeons.

    • Main Results:

    • The hybrid system offers a cost-effective alternative to existing simulators.
    • Recorded data demonstrated a good signal-to-noise ratio.
    • The collected data is suitable for developing objective skill assessment models.

    Conclusions:

    • A low-cost hybrid system shows promise for ophthalmic surgical training.
    • Objective skill assessment models can be developed from instrumented procedural data.
    • This approach may improve the accessibility and effectiveness of surgical skill development.
