We investigate the effects of stereoscopic simulation on novice trainee surgical performance. Methods: 20 first year medical students were randomized into a stereo or non-stereo group. Each participant viewed a 13 minute instructional video and then performed 3 mastoidectomy procedures with an in-house haptic temporal bone simulation, using a 3D-capable display with either active (stereo) or inactive (non-stero) shutter glasses. Following training, participants performed an actual mastoidectomy on a single 3D-printed bone model. The printed models were evaluated by 3 blinded neurotologic surgeons using a 7 point grading system. Results: Two-tailed t-tests showed no significant difference in overall performance (mean score across test categories over all subjects) between stereo (M= 3.8, SD=1.1) and non-stereo (M=4.4, SD=1.5) conditions (p=0.163). No significant differences existed in any of the assessed sub-domains. Conclusions: The addition of stereo-vision to haptic training may not affect temporal bone surgical skill acquisition in novice users. |
