628 Training surgeons with 3D-immersive vision using Virtual Reality

Dr. Rooma Sinha

Problem- 3D stereoscopic vision gives a different view of intracorporeal anatomy. Watching a 3D robotic surgery performed by trainees on a 2D monitor does not provide them with the immersive view of the robotic console and an appreciation for the relative depth of tissue planes. Not all surgeons have long periods of leave for fellowships, and there is limited access to the console time for viewing surgeries in 3D immersive vision. Solution- Create a short intensive master course and provide an option for them to view surgeries in 3D immersive vision. Solution innovation- Recorded surgeries with 3D video recorder, edited them into a step wise teaching videos of 10-15. Each course had 6-7 surgeons. A multi-user Virtual reality platform “Brainbrew” was developed, and trainees learned surgical steps with faculty interaction in 3D virtual reality, and also watched live surgeries in the OR.
