How to objectively grade surgical skills during LRYGB training? Here is a novel tool which is based on assessment of video recordings of 3 key steps: 1) the creation of the pouch, 2) division of the biliopancreatic limb and creation of gastro-jejunostomy 3) creation of the alimentary limb and jejuno-jejunostomy to differentiate between three proficiency levels: beginner, intermediate and expert. Is this a step forward to develop an unbiased global rating scale?

Groundbreaking advancement - AI Bronchoscope Simulator and Training Platform revolutionizes the way we educate and train our medical professionals, particularly in the specialized areas of bronchoscopy and endotracheal surgery. This product offers a unique and comprehensive training experience that is unparalleled in its realism, effectiveness, and versatility. 1, Enhanced Training Opportunities: Combined with bionic operation parts, offers a comprehensive and highly realistic training experience for bronchoscope trainees. This advanced training approach goes beyond what traditional methods can provide. 2, CT Compound Navigation: The integration of CT compound navigation adds an extra layer of realism, allowing trainees to practice under conditions that closely mimic real-world situations. This helps in building valuable skills and confidence. 3, Operational Assessment Platform: The ability to score and assess trainees' performance during simulated procedures is invaluable. This objective evaluation can help identify areas where trainees need improvement and track their progress over time. 4, Variety of Surgical Instruments: The inclusion of real surgical instruments such as EBS, biopsy forceps, injector, EBUS, and rEBUS provides trainees with a diverse range of tools to master. This diversity is essential for well-rounded training. 5, Simulation of Specific Procedures: The capability to simulate bionic transtracheal surgery paths and rehearse pulmonary surgeries is a significant advantage. It allows physicians to gain experience and confidence before performing these procedures on actual patients. 6, Detection of Pulmonary Nodules: The ability to practice EBUS and rEBUS diagnosis, especially in identifying small pulmonary nodules in distal bronchi, is critical. This can lead to earlier and more accurate diagnoses, ultimately benefiting patient care. 7, Versatility: offers a level of versatility that traditional bronchial simulators lack. The ability to adapt to various scenarios and provide training in different aspects of bronchoscopy and endotracheal surgery is a substantial advantage. 8, Improved Success Rates: With extensive training opportunities and the ability to rehearse specific procedures, the simulator has the potential to significantly improve the success rates of bronchoscope-related surgeries. 9, Comparison with Traditional Methods: Highlighting the limitations of traditional bronchial simulators, such as fixed curves and limited practice paths, emphasizes how your simulator represents a significant advancement in training technology. 10,Benefit to Teaching Hospitals and Training Centers: prove invaluable to teaching hospitals and Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) training centers, enhancing their ability to train and certify skilled bronchoscope surgeons. #AI #Bronchoscope #MedicalSimulator #MedicalSimulation #Pulmonary #EBS #EBUS #rEBUS #PCCM #CHEST #CMS #EMS #HealthcareSimulation #HealthcareEducation

How is #ophthalmic simulation-based surgical training improving patient outcomes? A randomized, controlled trial showed that trainees made fewer errors in their first 20 independent surgeries when a virtual reality–based simulation system was used compared to traditional training methods.

The employment of physical phantoms is becoming increasingly important for the training of surgical skills. Our recent publication on Advanced Materials Interfaces addresses the technological challenges of the realization of realistic phantoms for the widespread practice of electrosurgery. Conductive hydrogels and ionogels have been carefully designed to match the mechanical and electrical properties of biological tissues. The integration of both inert and electro-sensitive materials allowed the prototyping of clinical simulators, designed for the training of electrosurgical techniques such as electro-blade resection and cortical vessel coagulation. A warm thanks to all the co-authors Giacomo Valaperta, Fabio Acocella, Tommaso Santaniello, Nicolò Castelli, Alessandro Perin, FRANCESCO CAVALIERE, Vertemati Maurizio, Gian Vincenzo Zuccotti, Paolo Milani, PRINTMED-3D, HUVANT. #hydrogels, #ionogels, #phantoms, #3dprinting, #electrosurgery, #neurosurgery, #surgicaltraining

Happy to share this paper reporting an extensive characterization of electrosurgical physical phantoms fabricated with tissue-mimicking ionogels and hydrogels. Carefully designed conductive gels allowed the matching with the mechanical and electrical properties of biological tissues. We used these conductive ionogels for simulating the coagulation of cortical vessels during brain surgery.

Our landmark paper on the overall anaesthetic techniques for cataract surgery in the UK over the past decade is now published in the JCRS Journal - the learning points go beyond just a trend analysis: - Combined topical + intracameral is the commonest choice with an excellent safety profile (opens room for reflection for centers that still perform surgeries predominantly under sub-tenon's) - Non-sight threatening complication rates were higher for patients taking warfarin rather than direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), but only when sharp-needle anaesthesia was performed (therefore there is no need to stop pre-operative DOACs or warfarin routinely) - 89% of surgeries in the independent sector vs 48% in the NHS were done under topical; whereas 10% in the independent sector vs 46% in the NHS were done under sub-tenon's (this highlights the difference in case mix and redirection of routine cataracts to the independent sector - how does this impact training?)
