Application of navigation assisted neurosurgery operation system in clinical practice teaching of clinical medicine specialty

Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of navigation assisted surgery system in the medical teaching in the department of neurosurgery. Method From May 4 of 2015 to June 3 of 2015, 51 medical undergraduates of clinical medicine in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University were ran-domly divided into experiment group (navigation assisted surgical technique system teaching, n=25) and traditional group (traditional teaching, n=26). Practical effect of the different modes was evaluated by question-naire and examination results. Data were analyzed by SPSS 20.0. Enumeration data were compared between groups using chi square test or t test. Result After the teaching, the theoretical results of the experimental group and the control group were (83.05 ± 6.03) and (74.32 ± 7.12), and the difference was statistically significant (t=4.96, P=0.005). Clinical skills scores were (89.43 ± 5.12) and (81.11 ± 8.02), and the difference was statistically significant (t=2.91, P=0.029). The questionnaire showed that the experimental group students' satisfaction degree to their own teaching method was better than that of control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with the traditional teaching, the navigation assisted neurosurgical operation has obvious advantages. It can improve students' enthusiasm for learning the professional knowledge and skills in neurosurgery, stimulate students' learning interest and improve students' test scores.
