Virtual reality laparoscopic simulator

Virtual reality laparoscopic simulator training:

Residents will participate in a structured approach to teaching laparoscopic skills to beginning surgeons with a virtual reality trainer will improve skills prior to actual operative experience.

Group Type OTHER

Virtual reality laparoscopic simulator training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The aim of this project is to determine whether a structured approach to teaching laparoscopic skills to beginning surgeons with a virtual reality trainer will improve skills prior to actual operative experience. We aim to show that with the virtual reality trainer, operative skills will be improved and that overall operative time will be decreased.
