The findings of the study indicated that 11 cases (48%)
have used virtual education technology for laparoscopic surgery training. Using virtual reality has improved learning in 17 (74%) studies.
Virtual Reality Training Improves Operating Room Performance
The use of VR surgical simulation to reach specific target criteria significantly improved the OR performance of residents
during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Does Virtual Reality Improve Procedural Completion and Accuracy in an Intramedullary Tibial Nail Procedure? A Randomized Control Trial
Virtual reality increased both procedural accuracy and the completion proportion compared with a technique guide in medical students. Based on our findings, virtual reality may help residents learn the procedural workflow and movements required to perform surgical procedures.

Virtual reality displays, such as head-mounted displays (HMD), afford us a superior spatial awareness by leveraging our vestibular and proprioceptive senses, as compared to traditional desktop displays.
Continue readingPresence and Memory: Immersive Virtual Reality Effects on Cued Recall
Presence, the psychological experience of
“being there,” is an important construct to consider
when investigating the impact of mediated
experiences on cognition.
People recall information better through virtual reality
The researchers found that people remember information better if it is presented to them in a virtual environment.
