Summary

Virtual reality (VR) sinus surgery simulators are validated for teaching anatomy and basic procedures to medical students and junior doctors. Advanced surgical training requires further simulator development for Otorhinolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS) programs.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Simulation
  • Virtual Reality Technology

Background:

  • Virtual reality (VR) simulators offer a patient alternative for surgical skills practice.
  • Validation is crucial to ensure the accuracy of VR simulators for medical training.
  • This study focuses on validating a VR sinus surgery simulator with haptic feedback for Otorhinolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS) training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate a virtual reality sinus surgery simulator for training in Otorhinolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery (OHNS).
  • To assess the face, content, and construct validity of the VR simulator across different experience levels.

Main Methods:

  • Participants included medical students, interns, resident medical officers (RMOs), OHNS registrars, and consultants.
  • Four simulation tasks were performed, followed by an online questionnaire.
  • Statistical analysis used ANOVA with post hoc correlation to compare validity across groups.

Main Results:

  • Face validity showed significant differences between consultants and other groups.
  • Content validity indicated a need for further development for registrar-level training.
  • Students, interns, and RMOs found the simulator useful for learning anatomy and basic ENT procedures.

Conclusions:

  • VR sinus surgery simulators are validated for teaching anatomy and nasendoscopy to medical students, interns, and RMOs.
  • Further development is needed for VR simulators to be considered valid for advanced surgical training in OHNS.
