The Training of Resident Surgeons in Single-Port Thoracoscopic Surgery Wound Position Selection

The experimental group will undergo preoperative training using the metaverse surgical simulation system for 15 minutes before selecting the surgical incision site (this refers to residents receiving the assisted training). The trial process requires participants' consent to provide high-resolution CT images as the basis for reconstructing digital twin organs. Except for the intervention training, the surgery, postoperative care, follow-up, and other treatment processes the participants receive will be the same as those for typical patients.

The participants (residents) will receive 15 minutes of preoperative training using the Metaverse surgical simulation system. They will superimpose the digital twin model onto the patient on the operating table and use the CT cross-sectional matching function within the Metaverse system to locate the lesion. The participants (residents) can use the system to repeatedly simulate incision sites and mark planned entry points on the patient by overlaying the virtual model onto the real patient. Except for the intervention training with the system, the subsequent surgery, postoperative care, follow-up, and other treatment processes the patients receive will be the same as usual.
