The country’s first simulation operating room was opened on the basis of the methodological Accreditation and Simulation Center (MASC) and fully corresponds to the real one.
The operating room is built using cleanroom technology and is equipped with modern simulation equipment – the EIDOS laparoscopic system with a robot simulator, dummy simulators, training devices, electronic phantoms, the da Vinci robot-assisted surgical system, as well as the MVS software and hardware complex.
All conditions have been created here for practicing practical skills in a safe simulated environment for doctors, graduate students, and residents in the specialties: surgery, endoscopy, X-ray endovascular diagnostics and treatment, etc.
In addition to practicing traditional surgical skills, at the A.V. Vishnevsky Institute, in a training simulation operating room using MVS equipment, future and present doctors will learn how to video record operations, work with a video archive of operations, set up visualization, conduct Live Surgery sessions, and also get acquainted with operating room performance indicators. Video recording of operations allows future doctors to undergo training, receive structured feedback from mentors, work on mistakes, and, therefore, improve the effectiveness, quality and safety of surgical care provided.
The creation of the first simulation operating room in Russia is an important and promising direction in the training of a new generation of surgeons – future technological leaders.
