BACKGROUND
The COVID-19 pandemic drastically reduced opportunities for surgical skill sharing between high-income and low to middle-income countries. Augmented reality (AR) technology allows mentors in one country to virtually train a mentee in another country during surgical cases without international travel. We hypothesize that AR technology is an effective live surgical training and mentorship modality.
METHODS
Three senior urologic surgeons in the US and UK worked with four urologic surgeon trainees across the continent of Africa using AR systems. Trainers and trainees individually completed post-operative questionnaires evaluating their experience.
RESULTS
Trainees rated the quality of virtual training as equivalent to in-person training in 83% of cases (N = 5 of 6 responses). Trainers reported the technology's visual quality as "acceptable" in 67% of cases (N = 12 of 18 responses). The audiovisual capabilities of the technology had a "high" impact in the majority of the cases.
CONCLUSION
AR technology can effectively facilitate surgical training when in-person training is limited or unavailable.
背景
COVID-19 大流行极大地减少了高收入和中低收入国家之间的外科技能交流机会。增强现实（AR）技术允许一个国家的导师在不进行国际旅行的情况下，在另一个国家的手术过程中对学员进行虚拟培训。我们假设 AR 技术是一种有效的实时手术培训和指导模式。
方法
美国和英国的三位资深泌尿科医生与非洲大陆的四位泌尿科受训者一起使用 AR 系统进行合作。培训师和受训者分别完成了术后问卷调查，评估他们的经验。
结果
在 83%的情况下（6 次回应中的 5 次），学员们认为虚拟培训的质量与面对面培训相当。在 67%的情况下（18 次回应中的 12 次），培训师报告说该技术的视觉质量“可接受”。在大多数情况下，该技术的视听功能具有“高”影响力。
结论
当面对面培训受到限制或无法进行时，AR 技术可以有效地促进外科培训。
