Background:

Virtual reality (VR) is established for surgical training.
Advancements enable procedural-based VR training.
Effectiveness of procedural VR versus basic VR is assessed.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare procedural VR training with basic VR simulation for minimally invasive surgery.
To evaluate the efficacy of procedural VR in enhancing surgical skills.

Main Methods:

26 novice participants were randomized into procedural VR or basic VR groups.
Both groups underwent structured training; learning curves were plotted.
Performance was assessed on robotic radical prostatectomy (RARP) in cadavers using GEARS.

Main Results:

Both VR modalities improved technical skills, with procedural VR showing greater effects.
Any VR training significantly increased GEARS scores compared to no training (11.3 vs. 8.8, p=0.002).
Procedural VR training was more effective than basic VR and no training (GEARS 11.9 vs. 10.7 vs. 8.8, p=0.03).

Conclusions:

Procedural VR simulation effectively trains robotic surgery skills.
Technical skills acquired through procedural VR transfer to clinical tasks.
Further research is needed for advanced surgical skills training with procedural VR.
