Simulation facilities are being developed at
universities around the world, providing
cutting-edge training that benefits surgeons
and their patients.
Digital imaging and computing advances have
fostered an era of medical surgery simulation.
The medical field was the first to exploit
volume visualization from CT in craniofacial
surgery.
Gaming and simulation have much in common,
but have as many differences. For over 20
years video games have given laypeople a way
to investigate what it may be like to have
their hand on the knife.
The nature of surgery simulation fosters
collaboration between academia, private
companies, the military and technology
solution providers. Both open and closed
source projects coexist and serve the varying
needs of each group, with amazing results.
Benefits of surgery simulation
for medical professionals
• Laparoscopic technique training
• Specific robotic surgery tool training
• Practice as often as desired, expertise can be achieved far earlier
• Confidence built through practice allows better performance through skill and mental state
• Reduce dependence on costly cadaver and animal subjects
• So much MORE!
Benefits of surgery
simulation for patients
• Less invasive surgeries, with faster
recovery
• Less risk due to extensive practice of surgeons
• Reduced risk- Patient CT and MRI data loaded into simulation environment allows surgeons to practice a procedure on patient anatomy
- Novice surgeons will perform better overall
• Future: Confidence in your surgeon based on their performance data
• So much MORE!
Interface design for simulation environments
in some ways mirror gaming, but there are
specific considerations that must be taken into
account.
The practical applications today are just as
exciting as the theoretical applications that
future innovations will bring – such as truly
virtual surgery and monitoring surgeon
competency for various procedures over time
Performance measurement and certifications
on individual procedures allow superior
tracking of surgeon skill and readiness to enter
the operating theater.
Moving Forward
- Virtual Surgery
- Standards development and approval
- Certification of surgeons
- Online: BioDigital Human
