Virtual Reality Simulation in Teaching Fetoscopic Laser Placental Photocoagulation in Twin‐To‐Twin Transfusion Syndrome
This VR simulator represents a significant advancement in TTTS surgical education, offering comprehensive training capabilities without requiring practice on actual patients. Initial testing demonstrates feasibility for both local and remote teaching applications, with potential advantages in cost, portability, and educational capabilities compared to traditional physical simulators.
