Accelerated in part by the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, medical education has increasingly moved into the virtual sphere in recent years. Virtual surgical education encompasses several domains, including live virtual surgery and virtual and augmented reality. These technologies range in complexity from streaming audio and video of surgeries in real-time to fully immersive virtual simulations of surgery. This article reviews the current use of virtual surgical education and its possible applications in hand surgery. Applications of virtual technologies for preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance, as well as care in underresourced settings, are discussed. The authors describe their experience creating a virtual surgery subinternship with live virtual surgeries. There are many roles virtual technology can have in surgery, and this review explores potential value these technologies may have in hand surgery.
近年来，受 2019 年冠状病毒病大流行的推动，医学教育越来越多地进入虚拟领域。虚拟手术教育涵盖多个领域，包括实时虚拟手术以及虚拟现实和增强现实。这些技术的复杂程度各不相同，从实时流式传输手术音频和视频到完全沉浸式的虚拟手术模拟。本文综述了虚拟手术教育的现状及其在手外科中的可能应用。讨论了虚拟技术在手外科术前规划和术中指导以及资源匮乏环境下的护理中的应用。作者描述了他们创建带实时虚拟手术的虚拟手术实习的经验。虚拟技术在手术中有许多应用，本综述探讨了这些技术在手外科中可能具有的潜在价值。
