In their review article in JSS, Ludick et al. provide an overview of laparoscopic training modalities and assess how augmented reality compares. While further research is needed, AR simulation holds potential as a future gold standard for laparoscopic surgical training.

Looking at three materials for simulation of tendon repair, Robb & Rust found that providing a vessel for practice can be more important than the materials chosen to simulate biological tissue. Read about their study in JSS: https://doi.org/10.1102/2051-7726.2023.0002

GlobalSurgBox - an affordable, encouraging, and modifiable surgical trainer. Read more in this article by Blades et al. in JSS https://doi.org/10.1102/2051-7726.2023.0003

The GlobalSurgBox aims to address several of the existing barriers to routine use of low-fidelity surgical simulators by medical students and offers students an affordable and modifiable means through which to learn basic skills, and subsequently advance learning in a stepwise progression - a useful tool for preclinical medical students for simulation training of surgical skills.

Looking forward to Future Surgery tomorrow!

The largest surgical event of the year returns to London on 15–16 November 2022

Delivered in partnership with The Royal College of Surgeons of England, Future Surgery presents the biggest gathering of surgical and operating theatre teams with over 100 exhibitors and 100+ speakers set to attend this year.

The show, being hosted face-to-face for a second year in a row, promises an exciting, action-packed programme with high-level training and CPD-accredited professional development delivered by leading academics and industry experts over two days. Visitors will have an exclusive insight into the latest disruptive technologies and innovations that are shaping the future of the profession and revolutionising the way surgery is performed – and how surgeons learn to operate.

The show, which invites all surgical specialties and every member of the theatre team, is the first large-scale exhibition and conference dedicated to all that is new in surgery. In scale, presentation and programme, it remains unmatched. The event promises two full days of uninterrupted training and education as well as bringing together sector suppliers for a vibrant, cutting-edge exhibition floor.

As a member of Society of Surgical Simulation, you are eligible for a complimentary pass. Register here and use the code FSSSIM to waive the £499+ VAT entrance fee. T&Cs apply, you can view the pricing structure here. https://email.futuresurgeryshow.com/t/6TGY-MFRA-2LS6DV-GPVY4-1/c.aspx
