Application of Vitreoretinal Surgery Simulator Combined With Wetlab Teaching Mode in Training for Ophthalmology Residents
Objective To evaluate the application effect of vitreoretinal surgery simulator combined with Wetlab teaching mode in minimally invasive vitreous surgery(MIVS)training for ophthalmic residents.Methods A total of 20 residents in the department of ocular fundus disease,Shenzhen Eye Hospital in 2022 were divided into research group and control group.The research group adopted vitreoretinal surgery simulator combined with Wetlab teaching mode training and the control group adopted Wetlab teaching mode training.The training effects of the two groups were analyzed.Results The test scores of navigation module,forceps module,anti-shaking module,two-handed operation module,post-glass detachment module and vitreous cutting module of the research group after the training of vitreoretinal surgery simulator were(88.60±3.26)points,(90.67±2.91)points,(89.96±2.87)points,(88.06±2.74)points,(86.01±2.90)points and(84.59±2.81)points,which were higher than before training,and the differences were all statistically significant(P<0.001).In the Wetlab teaching mode,the test scores of guiding light,coordination of both hands,stability of both hands,vitreous incision of central axis and post-vitreous detachment of the research group were(5.12±1.13)points,(4.31±0.35)points,(4.23±1.14)points,(4.29±0.48)points and(3.62±1.24)points,which were all higher than those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The evaluation scores of novelty of training method,close to real surgical experience,helpfulness of vitreoretinal surgery skills,confidence in real surgery and overall satisfaction with surgical training of the research group were(4.64±0.12)points,(4.18±0.17)points,(4.42±0.33)points,(4.18±0.82)points and(4.75±0.12)points,which were higher than those of the control group,the differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Vitreoretinal surgical simulator combined with Wetlab teaching mode can effectively improve the MIVS training effect and the satisfaction with teaching of ophthalmic residents.
