[PMID: 38819302 DOI: 10.1080/00325481.2024.2363171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
Medical education is primarily based on practical schooling and the accumulation of experience and skills, which is important for the growth and development of young ophthalmic surgeons. However, present learning and refresher methods are constrained by several factors. Nevertheless, virtual reality (VR) technology has considerably contributed to medical training worldwide, providing convenient and practical auxiliary value for the selection of students' sub-majors. Moreover, it offers previously inaccessible surgical step training, scenario simulations, and immersive evaluation exams. This paper outlines the current applications of VR immersive teaching methods for ophthalmic surgery interns.

[PMID: 37207439 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjps.2023.04.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2022] [Revised: 03/29/2023] [Accepted: 04/08/2023] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
Continuing problems with fewer training opportunities and a greater awareness of patient safety have led to a constant search for an alternative technique to bridge the existing theory-practice gap in plastic surgery training and education. The current COVID-19 epidemic has aggravated the situation, making it urgent to implement breakthrough technological initiatives currently underway to improve surgical education. The cutting edge of technological development, augmented reality (AR), has already been applied in numerous facets of plastic surgery training, and it is capable of realizing the aims of education and training in this field. In this article, we will take a look at some of the most important ways that AR is now being used in plastic surgery education and training, as well as offer an exciting glimpse into the potential future of this field thanks to technological advancements.
