Trial Identification

Brief Title: Immersive Virtual Reality Environment for Complex Cognitive Skills Curricular Training in Liver Surgery

Official Title: Effectiveness of an Immersive Virtual Reality Environment on Curricular Training for Complex Cognitive Skills in Liver Surgery: A Multicentric Crossover Randomized Trial

Study ID: NCT04959630

Conditions

Hepatobiliary Neoplasm

Interventions

Clinical decision making based on visualizing liver 3D models in Virtual Reality (VR) environment or via a Desktop Interface (DI)

Study Description

Brief Summary: Investigators hypothesize that a virtual reality (VR) environment enhances general surgery residents' performance compared to Desktop Interface (DI)-based visualization of 3D models in decision making for patients with liver tumors. To determine this, a proficiency-based stepwise training curriculum for preoperative planning has been developed using both modalities. The overall objective of the curriculum is that by the end of the training program, residents would be able to formulate a treatment plan for patients with liver tumors.
