Evaluation of the utility of surgical simulation software in medical postgraduate education

This study shows that the use of Touch Surgery improves postgraduates' performance and ultimately enables them to reach the level of orthopedic specialists in simulated surgery, and received positive ratings for the software's experience and content. Touch Surgery can be a valuable complement to traditional surgical teaching methods, bridging the gap between theoretical learning from textbooks and guided rehearsals of surgical steps and skills.

Abstract

This study shows that the use of Touch Surgery improves postgraduates' performance and ultimately enables them to reach the level of orthopedic specialists in simulated surgery, and received positive ratings for the software's experience and content. Touch Surgery can be a valuable complement to traditional surgical teaching methods, bridging the gap between theoretical learning from textbooks and guided rehearsals of surgical steps and skills.
