Immersive Virtual Reality Environment for Complex Cognitive Skills Curricular Training in Liver Surgery

NCT04959630 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 50

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Investigators hypothesize that a virtual reality (VR) environment enhances general surgery residents' performance compared to Desktop Interface (DI)-based visualization of 3D models in decision making for patients with liver tumors. To determine this, a proficiency-based stepwise training curriculum for preoperative planning has been developed using both modalities. The overall objective of the curriculum is that by the end of the training program, residents would be able to formulate a treatment plan for patients with liver tumors.

Conditions

  • Hepatobiliary Neoplasm

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Clinical decision making based on visualizing liver 3D models in Virtual Reality (VR) environment or via a Desktop Interface (DI)

Visualizing 3D models of livers for preoperative surgical planning via two different environment: DI and VR in sequential order
