Abstract
This paper aims to assess the needs of neurosurgical training in order to strategize the future plans for simulation and rehearsal. The project main objective is to investigate the ability virtual reality to enhance the training.An online questionnaire has been conducted among surgeons practicing in different countries across the globe. The study shows significant differences in rehearsal methods and surgical teaching methods practiced by the respondents. Among respondents, 90% did believe that virtual reality technology can serve surgical training, and almost all respondents agreed that there is a gap in the existing neurosurgical training in terms of operating room ergonomics. Adequate education on surgical ergonomics might lead to an improvement in the outcomes for both surgeon and patient. The contribution of the paper is two fold. From one side investigates the new requirements for the enhancement of Neurosurgenos’ training and adoption on Virtual Reality Simulator. From the other side contributes to the body of knowledge related to the required Ergonomics skills.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems (IJSWIS) promotes a knowledge transfer channel where academics, practitioners, and researchers can discuss, analyze, criticize, synthesize, communicate, elaborate, and simplify the more-than-promising technology of the semantic Web in the context of information systems. The journal aims to establish value-adding knowledge transfer and personal development channels in three distinctive areas: academia, industry, and government.
