“…At the same time, numerous developments in information and communication technology have significantly influenced medical education. Medical educators have experimented with many recent developments, such as three‐dimensional (3D) printing (Preece et al, ; McMenamin et al, ; Watson, ; Jones et al, ; Yao et al, ), audiovisual studies (Pavese et al, ; Rössler et al, ; Benninger et al, ; Blake, ; Dash et al, ; Rinaldi et al, ), and computer‐generated imagery including virtual reality (VR) combined with a mobile device (Luursema et al, ; McGhee, ; Engelke et al, ; Liu et al, ; Kockro et al, ; Miki et al, ; Yeo et al, ). In particular, these modalities have been applied to anatomical and pathological education, especially with regards to understanding the 3D structure of the body in physiologic and pathologic states.…”

Human anatomical specimen museums are commonly used by medical, nursing, and paramedical students. Through dissection and prosection, the specimens housed in these museums allow students to appreciate the complex relationships of organs and structures in more detail than textbooks could provide. However, it may be difficult for students, particularly novices, to identify the various parts of these anatomical structures without additional explanations from a docent or supplemental illustrations. Recently, augmented reality (AR) has been used in many museum exhibits to display virtual objects in videos captured from the real world. This technology can significantly enhance the learning experience. In this study, three AR‐based support systems for tours in medical specimen museums were developed, and their usability and effectiveness for learning were examined. The first system was constructed using an AR marker. This system could display virtual label information for specimens by capturing AR markers using a tablet camera. Individual AR markers were required for all specimens, but their presence in and on the prosected specimens could also be obtrusive. The second system was developed to set the specimen image itself as an image marker, as most specimens were displayed in cross section. Visitors could then obtain the label information presented by AR without any markers intruding on the display or anatomical specimens. The third system was comprised of a head‐mounted display combined with a natural click interface. The system could provide visitors with an environment for the natural manipulation of virtual objects with future scalability.

“…After success with multiple applications of CAD/CAM technology in the reconstruction of head and neck defects, our department is expanding applications of VR technology to visually explore human anatomy. Previous studies have shown that VR technology is not only a good way of simulating surgery for surgeons [13], but also enables surgeons to better understand the relationship between surgical approaches and adjacent structures to improve surgeon proficiency and reduce unanticipated complications during surgery [14, 15].…”

BackgroundThe complex anatomy of the head and neck creates a formidable challenge for surgical reconstruction. However, good functional reconstruction plays a vital role in the quality of life of patients undergoing head and neck surgery. Precision medical treatment in the field of head and neck surgery can greatly improve the prognosis of patients with head and neck tumors. In order to achieve better shape and function, a variety of modern techniques have been introduced to improve the restoration and reconstruction of head and neck surgical defects. Digital surgical technology has great potential applications in the clinical treatment of head and neck cancer because of its advantages of personalization and accuracy.Case presentationOur department has identified the value of modern digital surgical techniques in the field of head and neck surgery and has explored its utility, including CAD/CAM technology and VR technology. We have achieved good results in the reconstruction of head and neck surgical resection defects.ConclusionIn this article, we share five typical cases from the department of head and neck surgery where the reconstruction was performed with the assistance of digital surgical technology.

“…In addition, most surgical training programs do also benefit from the use of a variety of models including inanimate models, virtual reality, live animals and human cadavers [16][17][18][19]. The integration of skills training through the use of these models provides a simulation for human living tissue as well as enabling team training.…”

Aim: Undergraduate dental education has been an important issue on oral surgery and there have been many tools to improve the skills of dental students. The aim of this study was to assess two different teaching methods on oral surgery for undergraduate dental education. Material and Methods: A total of 84 third-year dental students without any declared previous experience on surgery were divided into two groups. Group 1 was given a lecture and slide presentation regarding the extraction of teeth 17 and 37. Group 2 received a demonstration of tooth extraction performed on the plastic skull model in addition to lecture and slide presentation. Baseline knowledge was measured using a questionnaire that consisted of 14-item check list. Data analysis was carried out using the SPSS (version 15) statistical software package. One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Kruskal Wallis test were performed for the statistical assessment. Results: Group 2 presented statistically significant better learning scores. Demonstration was determined to be related with higher scores. Conclusions: The present study reveals that demonstration is more beneficial in teaching basic surgical skills for tooth extraction. Thus, teaching methods are suggested to be performed with demonstration in the preclinical educational programs.
