MicroSim offers virtual reality microsurgery training with realistic interfaces and real-time simulations. This system enhances fine motor skills for procedures like microvascular anastomosis.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Virtual Reality in Surgery
  • Microsurgery Training

Background:

  • Microsurgery demands high precision and extensive fine motor skill development.
  • Traditional training methods may lack realism and objective feedback for microsurgical skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce MicroSim, a novel virtual reality (VR) training simulator for microsurgical tasks.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of VR-based training for fundamental microsurgical skills and microvascular anastomosis.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a VR environment with a realistic interface and real-time simulation model.
  • Integration of real microsurgical instruments tracked by an optical system.
  • Stereoscopic display providing a microscope-like surgical view.
