Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality in Surgical Training: Enhancing Skill Acquisition and Procedural Proficiency | Chapter 12 | Medical Science: Recent Advances and Applications Vol. 9

 

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Virtual Reality (VR) in surgical training has profoundly transformed medical education and technical skill acquisition. In this context, “skill” is defined as a goal-directed motor pattern executed with a specified level of quality and precision, distinct from general abilities, dexterity (purely motor control), and competence (the application of skills in real clinical scenarios). AI-powered simulations, coupled with VR-based training platforms, create highly immersive, interactive, and risk-free environments that allow surgical trainees to practice and refine complex procedures with enhanced precision. These systems simulate real-life anatomical variations and intraoperative scenarios, facilitating improved decision-making and procedural accuracy. Real-time feedback mechanisms, adaptive learning algorithms, and personalised skill enhancement pathways support the development of competence by aligning training with each trainee’s individual learning pace and style. Furthermore, AI enables objective performance tracking through quantitative metrics such as hand movement efficiency, error rates, and task completion times, which support competency-based assessments and predictive modelling of future performance. By overcoming traditional limitations—such as restricted access to cadavers or live patients, variable case exposure, and ethical constraints—AI and VR technologies ensure standardised, reproducible, and scalable surgical training. However, current VR systems remain limited by inadequate haptic feedback, which can restrict the full transfer of tactile skills to real surgical procedures. Examples of current real-world implementations include the da Vinci Surgical System for robot-assisted procedures and augmented 360° VR modules for neurosurgical training. Despite these advances, challenges remain, including high implementation costs, limited haptic feedback, validation requirements for AI algorithms, and ethical considerations such as data privacy and algorithmic bias. By addressing these challenges, AI and VR have the potential to standardise surgical education, improve trainee proficiency, and enhance patient safety. This review comprehensively examines the current advancements, pedagogical benefits, and inherent challenges of incorporating AI and VR into surgical education, emphasising their role in shaping the next generation of surgical professionals and enhancing overall patient safety.

While youngsters and young adults are ultimate frequently affected sectors of the population for few types of trafficking, human trafficking can influence victims of some age, gender, race, race, culture, or persuasion, and they can disclose in the clinic followed or unaccompanied for urgent care. When giving, a patient may display important signs, symptoms, and clinical shame that are of a suspicious type and suggest further investigation, containing reporting the issues to able authorities, especially if the casualty is an infant or believed a minor, less than 18 years adult in most nations. Since health care professionals are repeatedly the first point of contact when symptoms and shame of human trafficking, child abuse, and added signs of abuse are evident, supplementary modules in health care forensics would be a welcome adding to medical educational programs and public health perspectives for physicians and additional members of the healthcare group. Thus, the goal of this paper search out review the characteristics of human buying and selling and abuse, to summarize key areas of permissible, medical, and managerial responsibility in order to guarantee the availability of optimum and appropriate patient-centered care for fatalities, and to emphasize the meaning of including modules in forensic healing education in healing curricula.

Human Values in Medicine: A Novel Perspective | Chapter 19 | Current Practice in Medical Science Vol. 1

Human values derive from the idea of divinity, according to Indian philosopher, educator, and philanthropist Sathya Sai Baba. Or, to put it another way, human values are the manifestations of God in the human state. The five human values—love, truth, right action, peace, and nonviolence—were his hypotheses. There are several sub-values that fall under each value, and these are reflected in the medical ethics values. The practise of clinical medicine and scientific research are both governed by a framework of moral standards known as medical ethics. Respect for autonomy (self-determination), non-maleficence (non-violence), beneficence (charity), and fairness are some of these principles (equity). Sai Baba draws attention to a minute distinction between human values and ethics, specifically: that the concept of ethics was created by humans without taking into account the role that deity plays. The five fundamental values—namely, the fulfilment of the intellect's search for truth, the channelling of the will into satisfying expression through right action, the resolution of human emotion and interaction conflicts in the pursuit of inner and outer peace, the expansion of the heart in the flow of love, and the realisation of perfection—combine to form a complete vision of human potential. In addition to acting as a moral standard for doctor-patient relationships, human values in medicine involve making sure that clinical and managerial techniques adhere to generally recognised ethics standards, norms, and expectations. The innate humanism in medical practise has frequently been abandoned in recent years as a result of scientism as a goal, which has led to the science of medicine superseding the art of medicine. Sai Baba's value-based healthcare's teaching aids in bringing out the human qualities that are innate in every person.

Feckless Practices of Bio Medical Waste Management in Developing Countries | Chapter 3 | Current Practice in Medical Science Vol. 1

The two risks associated with biomedical waste are toxicity and infectivity. Health care institutions produce 75–90% of waste that is deemed non-hazardous, while the remaining 10–25% is deemed hazardous and may pose a number of health risks. The atmosphere for medical and surgical patients is improved by expert biological waste management. Therefore, it is necessary from time to time to conduct evaluation surveys or studies about hospital waste disposal knowledge among various cadres of hospital staff in order to rectify behaviours. A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted to teach first-year medical students about the management and handling of biomedical waste. The goal was to enhance the students' skills and evaluate their knowledge growth in order to better prepare them for a future career as capable doctors or surgeons. 131 of the 150 pupils were in attendance. 63 women and 68 men made up the group. The standard deviation was 3.745, with a mean age of 21.33. The average score was 3.09 1.15. (out of 5). All participants acquired information in a clear-cut manner, according to ANOVA data that showed an insignificant p value. It was determined that medical undergraduates will be more successful in their future endeavours if they are given basic medical training early on.
