Virtual reality (VR) training has been shown previously to improve intraoperative performance during part of a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of proficiency-based VR training on the outcome of the first 10 entire cholecystectomies performed by novices.
Thirteen laparoscopically inexperienced residents were randomized to either (1) VR training until a predefined expert level of performance was reached, or (2) the control group. Videotapes of each resident's first 10 procedures were reviewed independently in a blinded fashion and scored for predefined errors.
The VR-trained group consistently made significantly fewer errors (P = .0037). On the other hand, residents in the control group made, on average, 3 times as many errors and used 58% longer surgical time.
The results of this study show that training on the VR simulator to a level of proficiency significantly improves intraoperative performance during a resident's first 10 laparoscopic cholecystectomies.
先前的研究表明,虚拟现实(VR)训练可改善腹腔镜胆囊切除术部分操作过程中的术中表现。本研究旨在评估基于熟练程度的VR训练对新手进行的前10例完整胆囊切除术结果的影响。
13名缺乏腹腔镜经验的住院医师被随机分为两组:(1)进行VR训练,直至达到预先定义的专家表现水平;(2)对照组。以盲法独立回顾每位住院医师前10例手术的录像带,并对预先定义的错误进行评分。
VR训练组的错误明显更少(P = .0037)。另一方面,对照组的住院医师平均错误数量是VR训练组的3倍,手术时间长58%。
本研究结果表明,在VR模拟器上训练至熟练水平可显著改善住院医师前10例腹腔镜胆囊切除术的术中表现。
