BACKGROUND: Simulation is widely used in medical education in all specialties; in psychiatry, it usually relies on standardised patients played by actors. Virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) have the potential to provide standardised and replic...
OBJECTIVE: Artificial intelligence (AI) shows promise in surgery, but its role in plastic surgery education remains underexplored. This review evaluates the current landscape of AI in plastic surgery education.
OBJECTIVE: Robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are being increasingly integrated in spine surgery. One emerging application of AI is in hand motion detection to assess surgical skill. However, no standardized framework currently exists for eval...
INTRODUCTION: The transference of technical skills from basic to complex procedures is assumed-but untested-during training and board certification. We examine whether resident performance on frequently performed, basic laparoscopic procedures can pr...
Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) constitutes a firmly well-established technique within endoscopic resection for the elimination of epithelial lesions. Dissection trajectory prediction in ESD videos has the potential to strengthen surgical skil...
