Surgical Simulator for Improving Skill Proficiency and Resilience
Abstract Minimally invasive techniques that are constantly evolving have increased the skill requirements for successful and safe surgical procedures. There has been an extensive effort in the last two decades to develop medical simulators for training surgeons. However, much of the work has focused on medical students and surgical residents who are currently in formal training programs. There is a recognized need to ensure practicing surgeons maintain their level of skills through continuous evaluation while simultaneously learning newer procedures or equipment that get adopted into the OR. The objective of this proposal is to develop, evaluate and validate simulation technologies to…
