Key Summary
About: The Eyesi Surgical simulation-based vitreoretinal course at Lithuania's leading biomedical university uses an operating-room microscope to show a stereo, high-resolution virtual surgical field while trainees operate with lifelike instruments. The simulator recreates tissue interaction in real time, letting trainees practice hands-on vitreoretinal microsurgical skills until they reach a standard skill level. Keywords: vitreoretinal surgery, microsurgery, surgical simulator.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue roles as retina surgeons, vitreoretinal fellows, ophthalmic surgeons, clinical trainees, or simulation educators. They may work in hospital ophthalmology departments, specialist retina clinics, surgical training centers, or clinical research and device development in surgical education and simulation.
Eyesi Surgical Simulation-based Training of Vitreoretinal Surgery
Through the simulator's operating room microscope trainees see the virtual surgical field in stereo and high resolution while operating with life-like surgical instruments. The highly realistic simulation of interaction with tissue in real-time increases trainees’ surgical experience without risk for patients.
The aim of the course is to practice vitreoretinal microsurgical skills repetitively until a standard skill level is reached.
- Introduction lecture on Eyesi surgical simulator and Dry-Lab
- Rules of working with the simulator
- Lectures on vitreoretinal surgery equipment and instruments, pars plana vitrectomy steps, surgical tactics, prevention and management of complications
- Training with Eyesi I surgical simulator in Dry-Lab.
- Vitreoretinal training modules include posterior hyaloid detachment, peripheral vitrectomies, internal limiting membrane peeling, the removal of epiretinal membranes, or the treatment of retinal detachments with oil or gas endotamponades
