Australia

Australia is using virtual technology to train its medical students. Especially Sydney Australia where the Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) is combining three dimensional images with a senses of touch to create a realistic experience. This combination allows to view and feel the surgery being performed. In Sydney medical students performed a virtual gall bladder removal using a robotic arm. The robotic arm would resist any movements against the organs or tissues the same way a real organ would resist the blade of a knife. CSIRO says that they have received a lot of interest in creating a virtual simulator for gynecological surgery which involves the female reproductive organs, and a virtual cochlear surgery simulator which involves drilling a hole in the temple. According to CSIRO virtual surgery training very important in training the next generation of surgery (Trust Launches).

Britain

In England Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust has created the world’s first virtual simulator for kidney removals. This simulator is called the Procedicus MIST Nephrectomy. It was made by people from Guy’s Hospital, Kings College London, and Mentice. The project for making this simulator was funded by a grant of 185 thousand euros. This simulator has a screen that shows the trainee the organs going through surgery while the simulator has takes the trainee through the surgery step-by-step. The virtual simulators will benefit England greatly because performing test surgeries on animals is completely legal in England. The simulators will also allow medical students to perform practice surgeries without harming any humans (Lebihan).

Australia

Austraia esta usando siimuladores virtuales para entrenar a sus estudiantes medicos. Especialmente en Sydney, Australia donde Comonwealth Scientific y Industrial research Organization (CSIRO) esta combinando imagines de tres dimensiones con el tacto para crear una experiensa realistica. La combinacion te deja ver y sentir la sirujia. Los estudiantes de Sydney, Australia usan un brazo robotico para remover la vesicula. El brazo robotico resisste al cortar igual que los organos y tejidos asen.CSIRO dice que an atraido interes de crear un simulador para gynecologia, que involucra los organos reproductivos de la mujer. Y tambien para aser hollos en la craneo. Segun CSIRO la sirujia virtual es una importante parte de entrenar a la siguiente generacion.

Gran Britana

En Gran Btritana Guy’s and St. Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust a creado el primer simuldor para remover riñones del mundo.El simulador se llama Procedicus MIST Nephrctomy. Es echo echo por personas de Guy’s Hospital, King College London, y Mentice. El projecto fue fundado por 185,000 euros. El simulador tiene una pantalla en donde se ven los organos y indica instrucsiones de paso a paso. Estos simuladores benefician a Inglaterra porque alli se pueden usar animales para qualquier cosa. Esto tambien beneficia a los estudiantes porque no ponen una vida en riesgo.
