“…Other solutions have been proposed, for example, the SAGES telementoring, which allows surgeons to reach the plateau of maximum performance more quickly by "correcting" intraoperative gestures, thanks to experts who can follow the procedure remotely. An evaluation is proposed via this device; unfortunately, it is only subjective since it is left to the expert's free appreciation [22] and always on a patient.…”

Bariatric Surgical Simulation: Evaluation in a Pilot Study of SimLife, a New Dynamic Simulated Body Model

et al. 2020

Background The demand for bariatric surgery is high and so is the need for training future bariatric surgeons. Bariatric surgery, as a technically demanding surgery, imposes a learning curve that may initially induce higher morbidity. In order to limit the clinical impact of this learning curve, a simulation preclinical training can be offered. The aim of the work was to assess the realism of a new cadaveric model for simulated bariatric surgery (sleeve and Roux in Y gastric bypass). Aim A face validation study of SimLife, a new dynamic cadaveric model of simulated body for acquiring operative skills by simulation. The objectives of this study are first of all to measure the realism of this model, the satisfaction of learners, and finally the ability of this model to facilitate a learning process. Methods SimLife technology is based on a fresh body (frozen/thawed) given to science associated to a patented technical module, which can provide pulsatile vascularization with simulated blood heated to 37°C and ventilation. Results Twenty-four residents and chief residents from 3 French University Digestive Surgery Departments were enrolled in this study. Based on their evaluation, the overall satisfaction of the cadaveric model was rated as 8.52, realism as 8.91, anatomic correspondence as 8.64, and the model's ability to be learning tool as 8.78. Conclusion The use of the SimLife model allows proposing a very realistic surgical simulation model to realistically train and objectively evaluate the performance of young surgeons.

“…The study concluded surgical telementoring may enable physicians to safely perform two-incision leg fasciotomy in remote environments [74]. Another study from California reported telementoring for guidance of surgical trainees through sleeve gastrectomy procedures was a highly rated learning tool by both mentors and mentees [75]. Recently a case report of two patients successfully undergoing laparoscopic high-anterior and lowanterior resections, respectively, using telementoring has demonstrated the potential of the 5G network [76].…”

Advances in information and communication technology (ICT) are having an increasing impact on the practice of ophthalmology. Successive generations of 4G networks have provided continued improvements in bandwidth and download speeds. Fibre-optic networks were promised as the next step in the development of a faster and more reliable network. However, due to considerable delays in their widespread implementation, original expectations have not been met. Currently, the new 5G network is on the verge of widespread release and aims to offer previously unparalleled bandwidth, speed, reliability and access. This review aims to highlight the potential profound impact near instantaneous communication (the 5G network) may have on ophthalmology and the delivery of eyecare to the global population. Conversely, if the new network fails to deliver as intended, the wireless network itself may become yet another obstacle to adopting next-generation technologies in eyecare.

“…As a result, other surgical fields have used telementoring to provide the expertise that in-person mentoring may provide while allowing rural or remote hospitals access to high-quality mentorship [12,15]. For example, in laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, telementoring was shown to be feasible, and it resulted in positive evaluations from participating surgeons, as well as integration of new techniques into their surgical practice [8]. In Switzerland, a formal telementoring program safely introduced endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms in a remote center with good integration of the surgical technique into future surgical practice [11].…”
