Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Medical Simulation
  • Healthcare Training Technologies

Background:

  • Traditional benchtop simulators lack context crucial for effective surgical learning.
  • High-fidelity, full-immersion simulation facilities are often prohibitively expensive.
  • A novel, low-cost, high-fidelity simulation environment, distributed simulation (DS), was developed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore contextualized surgical training using DS.
  • To compare DS with traditional decontextualized benchtop simulation.
  • To assess the impact of DS on novice surgeons' confidence, motivation, and skill integration.

Main Methods:

  • Eleven novice surgeons participated in the study.
  • Participants performed a small bowel anastomosis in both benchtop and DS environments.

Simulator Training for Endovascular Neurosurgery

Published on: May 6, 2020

  • Surgeons' perceptions were captured via Likert-type questionnaires and semistructured interviews.

    • Main Results:

    • Surgeons found DS training to be realistic and valuable.
    • DS enhanced surgeon confidence, motivation, and integration of technical and nontechnical skills.
    • DS was perceived as beneficial before real operating room procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • Contextualized simulation training, such as DS, builds surgeon confidence prior to operating.
    • DS provides a solution to increase accessibility to contextualized surgical training.
    • Distributed simulation serves as an effective intermediate step between benchtop training and clinical practice.
