The study introduces two new simulators for twin-twin transfusion syndrome training - silicone and digital simulators. The digital simulator utilizes a novel digital video game virtual format, enhancing interactivity and enabling potential for distance learning.
Key Points/Highlights We have developed a high-fidelity interactive video-game simulator in order to teach fetoscopic laser ablation of placental anastomoses for twin-twin transfusion syndrome This simulator may be used by teachers in order to provide metrics-based simulator education to multiple trainees, in both hands-on and distanced learning settings What is already known about this topic? The use of simulation improves training of the fetoscopic laser techniques utilized in the treatment of twin-twin transfusion syndrome A number of mannequins have been developed to aid this education What does this study add? Two new simulators are described for twin-twin transfusion syndrome training-silicone and digital The digital simulator is a novel digital video game virtual format This new format has enhanced interactivity and has the potential to enable distance learning
