Model for wall loads during endoscopy
2023
University Hospital of Tuebingen, Tuebingen, Germany
Endoscopic assessment is crucial to the treatment of biliopancreatic diseases. As of yet, the wall load during this type of endoscopy is unknown, as it is not directly measurable in patients.
Therefore, in this study an endoscopy training model comprising an esophagus, a stomach, and a duodenum, was redesigned and five areas with increased wall stress during endoscopy in the model were identified using different duodenoscopes. These areas were equipped with a sensor system consisting of five load cells. Fifteen standardized duodenoscopies were performed.
The wall stress during duodenoscopies was measured intraprocedurally for the first time in this work using a synthetic, human–analogue model.

Artificial urological model for endoscopy training
December 2022
University of Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Germany
Current training of minimally invasive surgery often relies on animal organ models or physical organ phantoms, which do not offer realistic surgical scenes or feedback for surgeons to improve their skills. In this study, a high-fidelity artificial urological system is reported that allows realistic simulation of endoscopic urological procedures and offers a quantitative assessment of the surgical performance.
The physical organ model was fabricated by 3D printing and polymer molding based on human CT data. The system resembles the human upper urinary tract, with a high-resolution anatomical shape and sub-millimeter vascular patterns embedded on the inner walls of the renal collecting system. During surgical simulation, endoscopic videos are acquired and analysed to quantitatively evaluate performance skills by a computer algorithm. Endoscopic professionals and trainee groups were recruited to perform surgical procedures on the system, and significant differences between the two groups of surgeons have been determined.
The surgical simulator offers training of endoscopic urological procedures in a realistic and safe environment, and the quantitative evaluation of endoscopic skills.

3D printing for advanced tissue fabrication
2021
Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA
The Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels (FRESH) 3D bioprinting approach was used to generate complex 3D tissue and organ models with high cell viability using a wide range of biocompatible materials. The FRESH technique enables complex tissue fabrication by using a support bath that holds the printed materials or bioinks in place until they are cured. Using this method, researchers have demonstrated that large-scale 3D bioprinting of soft tissues and other complex tissue scaffolds with properties comparable to human tissues and organs is possible. This work is opening new avenues for tissue engineering and has already produced several research advancements, including the printing of organ models from patient-specific medical images and the development of a beating cardiac tissue, which has a potential application in surgical training.

FRESH 3D bioprinting a full-size model of the human heart
October 2020
Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA
The FRESH method (Freeform Reversible Embedding of Suspended Hydrogels) offers the advantage to create embedded complex tissue scaffolds, which are quite soft, from hydrogels which feature a high similarity to native tissues and organs. Up to now size ranged between a few millimetres to a few centimetres, but now the range could be expanded to a full-size model of a human heart. MRI scans from a patient's heart were used to create the organ copy made of alginate. The model mimics the elasticity of real cardiac tissue, while it is stable enough to perform suturing. The method can be used in surgeons' and students' education as well as for pre-surgery planning.

National Chin-Yi University of Technology, Taichung, Taiwan(2)
Patients with congenital heart disease may be treated with percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation to treat narrowed or leaky pulmonary valves. However, commercial options are not always available for children or special subjects. Over the years, the handmade pulmonary valved conduit has provided a strategy to customize the size to the specifications of the patient. In the present study, the researchers aimed at improving the design by generating a meta-learning-based intelligent model to train the physician to determine optimal parameters for customized valve reconstruction. This model can overcome problems arising from empirical parameter determination. The customized handmade pulmonary valved conduit produced thanks to the model were validated in vitro by assessing the regurgitation fraction and the heart pump efficiency using a circulation loop system.

Virtual training platform for cardiovascular surgery
October 2014
Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China
Training in cardiovascular interventional surgery (CIS) has been mainly performed under fluoroscopic guidance in animals. However, this has drawbacks due to the anatomical differences between animal models and the human body.
In this study, the researchers present a virtual training platform for cardiovascular interventional surgery (CIS) that creates a realistic simulated environment for training basic techniques.
The platform consists of a mechanical manipulation unit, a simulation platform, and a user interface. A decoupled haptic device provides dynamic behaviour and high-quality force feedback. In addition, an efficient physics-based hybrid model is used, which can realistically and interactively simulate the complex behaviour of guidewires and catheters. Three simulation studies show that the platform has reasonable accuracy and robustness. This platform enables realistic simulation of vascular surgery technique testing such as guidewire and catheter simulation and stent placement, as well as rendering techniques.

Digital model of epicardial pacing for training of physicians
2013
University of Kentucky Medical Center, Lexington, USA
Improvement of postoperative management of patients having cardiac surgery could be obtained with increased understanding of epicardial pacing, In the present study, the researchers aimed at developing a software-based epicardial pacing program to be used with the existing patient simulator. These digital training tools should assist junior physicians to become competent in the management of epicardial pacemakers. The tools developed were based on a human patient simulator and Flash animation to present arrhythmias and epicardial pacing interventions. The trainee is able to make adjustments (type of pacing, rate of pacing, and chamber output) as if using an actual pulse generator. The study reports the training of 15 anesthesiology residents who had minimal epicardial pacing experience. An anonymous post-scenario questionnaire was used to receive feedback which showed that the simulation session improved their understanding and management of epicardial pacemakers.
