Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technological advancements in video equipment and biocompatible materials has enabled improvements in complex surgery through small incisions. The mastery of these laparoscopic surgical techniques is now a requirement for surgeons, however, the necessary skills are not intuitive and require hundreds of practice hours. The current state of surgical education includes animate models, inanimate physical models, and computer-based simulations, the latter of which are limited by cost, accessibility, and a lack of engagement. We propose a novel low-cost training interface that mimics the laparoscopic surgical environment using customized instruments whose movement and control are used as inputs for video games. The system is significantly less expensive than commercial systems and allows users freedom to select and play any game, enabling a take-home system with potential for higher levels of engagement, as well as familiarity and expertise with ambidextrous laparoscopic hand motion. A preliminary study compared performance on FLS (Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery) testing before and after training. For a precision cutting task, groups that trained on a standard simulator or on the new system with either a non-inverted or inverted hand-instrument mapping, showed statistically significant improvements, warranting further investigation of training with this new system.

Download or read book Training Minimal Access Surgery Skills Within a Virtual Environment written by M. Kelly and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A training system for Minimal Access Surgery (MAS) has been developed by the Centre for Human Sciences part of the Defence and Evaluation Research Agency. The system consists of an object model database which can be interacted with via simulated MAS surgical tools. It is based on two low cost networked personal computers and linked to a pair of laparoscopic tools to provide accurate force feedback within a virtual environment. Development of an integrated training system forms a necessary part of delivering an effective training tool. A hierarchical task analysis (HTA) has been used to determine the key skills demanded of the surgeon in laparoscopic ectopic pregnancy. The experimental evaluation of system features to enable cost benefit trade offs to be made is discussed. From the HTA and a review of the literature new conclusions about the fundamental nature of the tasks to be trained in MAS are presented. The conclusion that adaptation to a continually varying control law is the fundamental task to be trained in MAS has implications for the design of MAS training systems. A future programme of experimental trials work on the simulator design parameters of force feedback scene detail and 3-D, and the application of Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) networks being carried out in conjunction with the Surrey RCS MATTU unit and Loughborough University is discussed.

Sánchez-Margallo and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2015-03-19 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2014 in the subject Medicine - Biomedical Engineering, grade: Excellent "cum laude", , language: English, abstract: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has become in many surgical specialties and procedures the gold-standard choice due to its efficiency and benefits towards patient safety. However, the introduction of laparoscopic surgery has led to the need of developing new surgical skills different to those required for open surgery, with a significant learning curve to perform a safe laparoscopic surgery. Traditional subjective assessment methods of trainees are no longer adequate for surgical training. Reduced working hours as well as demands from surgeons and associations mean that more objective assessment tools that can accredit surgeons as technically competent are required. Evidence exists to validate motion analysis for laparoscopic technical skills assessment. Motion analysis of the laparoscopic instruments seeks to determine aspects that indicate the difference between surgeon's level of surgical dexterity. However, at the moment there is not an extended method to be used with current available training systems used in training laboratories as well as for the OR. The purpose of this book is to present the design, development and validation of three novel motion analysis methods focused on the use of real laparoscopic instruments during laparoscopic performance. These methods are based on computer vision techniques attempting to not interfere with the surgical practice. They are introduced in an evolutionary way from methods for exclusive use in a box trainer to solutions with the potential of being used in actual OR setting. Overall, this work corroborates the research hypothesis regarding the use of three different video-based tracking technologies for motion analysis of laparoscopic instruments, the use of instrument motion analysis for MIS technical skills assessment and the relationship between motion-related assessment metrics and quality of technical performance in laparoscopic training. These presented methods provide a tool to objectively assess MIS technical performance and a support to train novice surgeons in MIS techniques. The findings of this work encourage us to continue researching in improving these methods to be introduced as part of an actual laparoscopic training program, both inside and outside the OR.

Download or read book An Update to the Proficiency Benchmarks for Surgical Simulation Training in Laparoscopy at Oregon Health and Science University written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the field of medicine, especially surgery, progresses, new challenges in the training of physicians have emerged. While surgical education has been traditionally structured as an apprenticeship-based model, this has proven to be time consuming, costly, and unethical to patients, physicians, and medical institutions alike. One solution that has arisen due to the need for balancing safety with education is the usage of simulation-based training. Simulation has become an accepted and valued way of training physicians due to its assurance of safe, scheduled, targeted, and objective training for the learner, as well as safe and efficient clinical experiences for patients. Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU), along with every other accredited surgical residency program in the United States, has integrated a skills lab into their general surgery curriculum due to a 2008 mandate issued by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The surgical simulation skills lab at OHSU is titled VirtuOHSU. A core part of VirtuOHSU's curriculum involves the training of basic laparoscopic skills. As simulation-based training was established, there was not a clear development of a standardized training curriculum for laparoscopic surgery and thus there has been a significant gap in the discourse's understanding of what proficiency metric is considered adequate for laparoscopic surgery training. In 2008, the OHSU general surgery residency program adopted proficiency levels from a study done by Drs. E. Matt Ritter and Daniel J. Scott of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. For the past six years, VirtuOHSU has used these standards to evaluate their general surgery residents. The goal of this paper was to evaluate the validity of the standard used at VirtuOHSU. My research suggests, that due to the arbitrary nature of these standards, the current proficiency benchmarks are not an effective way of evaluating the skill level of surgical residents trained at OHSU. In July 2014, OHSU's Department of Surgery will adopt the ACGME Milestones Project and moving forward with this project it will be necessary to determine what is acceptable competency standards for laparoscopic surgery training. The results found, in the data collection part of this work, guided the creation of new laparoscopic proficiency benchmarks for each program year level of general surgery residents. In the future, the correlation between simulation skills lab performance and actual operative performance will be examined.
