Abstract
Recent usage of Virtual Reality (VR) technology in surgical training has emerged because of its cost-effectiveness, time savings, and cognition-based feedback generation. However, the quantitative evaluation of its effectiveness in training is still not studied thoroughly. This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of a VR-based surgical training simulator in laparoscopic surgery and investigates how stochastic modeling represented as Continuous-time Markov-chain (CTMC) can be used to explicit the training status of the surgeon. By comparing the training in real environments and in VR-based training simulators, the authors also explore the validity of the VR simulator in laparoscopic surgery. The study further aids in establishing learning models of surgeons, supporting continuous evaluation of training processes for the derivation of real-time feedback by CTMC-based modeling.
