We introduce novel online, virtual reality synthetic organ simulation program for robotic surgery. METHODS: Surgical trainees from urology, general, colorectal, gynaecology undertook four pillared education program. This included 9 online modules teaching the theory principles Then hands-on using Mimic simulators assess score psychomotor skills innate ability. A curated dual console experience was created live 3D stereoscopic video uploaded Oculus headsets prior progression operating room. Trainees commenced room high-fidelity printed hydrogel models containing clinically relevant objective surgical metrics review. Finally, mentored surgery with access cloud-based review provided. RESULTS: 32 participants completed course averaging 8 hours. Pre post surveys demonstrated increased confidence ability perform assisting procedures. curriculum on simulators. Time proficiency ranged 38 98 minutes. Robotic radical prostatectomy operative steps were headsets. 2 expert novice surgeons pelvic node dissection models. Blood loss, anastomosis integrity, nerve strain, positive margins time recorded. Live footage platform remote assessment faculty surgeons. CONCLUSIONS: new method that uses now enables shift away relies cadavers, animals learning patients.
