Summary
Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction technology significantly improved liver surgery education outcomes. Physicians in the 3D group showed higher test scores and greater satisfaction with learning compared to traditional methods.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Surgical Training
- Medical Simulation
Background:
- Traditional liver surgery teaching relies on conventional methods like anatomical atlases and physical models.
- There is a need to explore innovative technologies to enhance surgical education effectiveness.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the application value of three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction technology in liver surgery teaching.
- To compare the effectiveness of 3D teaching methods versus traditional approaches.
Main Methods:
- A randomized controlled trial with 50 physicians comparing a 3D teaching group (using dynamic liver models, virtual planning, and videos) with a traditional teaching group.
- Standardized assessments and questionnaires were used to evaluate teaching effectiveness.
Main Results:
- The 3D teaching group achieved significantly higher scores in written tests, practical operations, and overall assessments (p < 0.001).
- Participants in the 3D group reported significantly higher satisfaction with teaching methods, learning interest, knowledge acquisition efficiency, motivation, and content mastery (p < 0.001).
Conclusions:
- Three-dimensional reconstruction technology offers a significant advantage in enhancing learning motivation and knowledge acquisition for liver surgery trainees.
- This technology facilitates a shift towards active, exploratory learning, positioning it as a potentially core methodology for standardized liver surgery education.
