Visual-spatial ability, learning modality and surgical knot tying.
INTRODUCTION The ability to mentally rotate an object in 3 dimensions has been shown with an individual's score on the Vandenberg and Kuse Mental Rotations Test. The was to determine whether this Mental Rotations Test could be used to predict performance complex surgical skill - the tying of a 1-handed surgical reef knot. In addition, we learning a spatially complex surgical skill could be achi...
متن کاملSimulated Knot Tying
Applications such as suturing in medical simulations require the modeling of knot tying in physically realistic rope. The paper describes the design and implementation of such a system. Our model uses a spline of linear springs, adaptive subdivision and a dynamics simulation. Collisions are discrete event simulated and follow the impulse model. Although some care must be taken to maintain stabl...
متن کاملKnot-tying with four-piece fixtures
We present a class of fixtures that can be disassembled into four pieces to extract the loosely-tied knot. We prove that a fixture can be designed for any particular knot such that the knot can be extracted using only simple pure translations of the four fixture sections. We explore some of the issues raised by our experimental work with these fixtures, which show that simple knots can be tied ...
متن کاملTeaching surgical skills--changes in the wind.
Copyright © 2006 Massachusetts Medical Society. Sir william halsted introduced a german-style residency training system with an emphasis on graded responsibility at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1889.1 This system remains the cornerstone of surgical training in North America more than a century later. However, advances in educational theory, as well as mounting pressures in the clinical environment...
متن کاملPeer-assisted teaching of basic surgical skills
BACKGROUND Basic surgical skills training is rarely emphasised in undergraduate medical curricula. However, the provision of skills tutorials requires significant commitment from time-constrained surgical faculty. PURPOSE We aimed to determine how a peer-assisted suturing workshop could enhance surgical skills competency among medical students and enthuse them towards a career in surgery. M...
