Overview

Virtual reality simulation improved knowledge and confidence in cleft surgery among trainees in India, suggesting potential for global surgical education.

Key Points

  • Knowledge scores for the Furlow technique rose significantly following the virtual reality simulation, indicating successful learning enhancement.
  • Confidence in using virtual reality as an educational tool improved considerably among trainees after the simulation experience.
  • Trainees expressed high satisfaction with the simulation, highlighting its clarity, effectiveness in teaching, and enjoyable nature.
  • This approach supports the integration of virtual reality into surgical training, particularly in low-resource settings for broader access to education.
