Virtual Da Vinci Skills Simulator
2022
Lahey Hospital and Medical Center, Burlington, USA
Robotic-assisted surgery requires extended skills to safely perform various surgeries on patients. For one of the best-known robotic surgery control consoles, the Da Vinci surgical system, a virtual learning platform is available. Different levels provide a wide skills training, including EndoWrist manipulation, camera and clutching, fourth arm integration, system settings, needle control and driving as well as usage and control of the footswitch panels. Surgeon trainees can practice without being supervised as the saved metrics allow assessing skills and tracking progress. Besides education, the simulator can be used as a warm-up right before a (complicated) surgery.
