Background. Laparoscopic surgery has gained popularity in the last few decades replacing open standard techniques in several procedures. While its use and scope expand, a standardized method of training and assessment in laparoscopic skills is lacking. Aim. To assess the effect of virtual reality (VR) training on laparoscopic surgical skills. Materials and Methods. It is a prospective, controlled study conducted at Sagar Hospital’s skill lab and Shanthi Hospital and Research Centre (SHRC). We included 27 post graduates in general surgery. They were divided into two groups. One group underwent training in VR Simulator for one week, 30 minutes each day. The second group received no training. Their proficiency while mobilizing the Gallbladder from its liver bed was assessed using a validated scale by a single blinded observer. Results. The statistical analysis was done using a non-parametric test (Mann-Whitney U test). Residents who underwent training in VR simulator got better scores in Overall rating and also in individual parameters when compared with the control group (P = <0.05). Conclusions. Laparoscopic surgical skills can be increased by using proficiency-based VR simulator training and it can be transferred to actual operations. VR simulators are a valid tool for laparoscopic surgical skills training.
