Abstrakt: Purpose: The aim of our prospective randomised trial was to demonstrate the efficacy and improvement in surgical skills of inexperienced surgeons in the balloon kyphoplasty procedures trained with virtual reality (VR) compared to untrained inexperienced surgeons.
Methods: Six orthopaedic residents were randomized to group VR1 (trained) and group VR0 (untrained, control group). At the beginning, all participants, after a theoretical lesson, performed a virtual kyphoplasty. Each resident of the Group VR1 did four training sessions in 1 month (2 h per week) and at the end of training was re-evaluated performing a virtual kyphoplasty. Residents were evaluated with global task completion time and rates subtask ability according to Global Rating Scale of Operative Performance adaptation (both in VR simulation and during the surgery). A percutaneous vertebral augmentation with balloon kyphoplasty was performed by all residents. Intraoperative parameters, complications and cumulative transfer effectiveness ratio (CTER) were analysed.
Results: Intraoperative scores revealed an improvement in the group VR1 between the first VR trial and the intraoperative phase (2.85 ± 0.65 vs. 4.09 ± 0.62, P < 0.05), which was not seen in the group VR0 (2.71 ± 0.71 vs. 2.85 ± 0.75). Statistical analyses indicated significant differences in intraoperative scores between the two groups. The CTER was 0.85 and suggests that 10 training sessions could reduce the procedure time by approximately 8 min in a 15 min of surgery.
Conclusion: Our study about the balloon kyphoplasy reaffirms the potential of VR as an effective and cost-efficient training tool, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical execution.
