JSLS(2008)12:219-226 A pure VR Task in ProMIS—using real instruments A ’mixed reality’ Task in ProMIS: a real anatomical model with 3D graphics and real instruments • Improved camera view: a hand-held model laparoscope doubles the resolution of the laparoscopic image and allows complete flexibility for positioning, zoom • Multiple instruments and hand-held ‘laparoscope’ provides surgically relevant context and team training, including non-technical skills such as decision-making • Completely flexible port positioning enables users to have accurate and realistic port placement • Improved angle of entry delivers even greater realism and allows for different procedures to be practised • A greater 'operating space' allows for more and different procedures to be simulated ranging from General Surgery to ObGyn to Thoracic surgery • Improved metrics reporting and functionality in the Learning Management System • Even easier to build, adapt and integrate Modules and Tasks—including FLS and local curriculum (using our Open Module and ContentCreationTool) About ProMIS™ ProMIS™ uniquely enables users to use real instruments on both virtual and physical models in the same unit while providing accurate, comprehensive feedback on performance. ProMIS’s unique ‘mixed reality’ or hybrid approach has consistently outperformed pure virtual reality as a tool for training laparoscopic skills. Studies have shown that “FLS tasks are transferable to the ProMIS simulator” and ProMIS metrics are “excellent predictors of scores in the standard FLS simulator” and “predict readiness for FLS Certification”. ProMIS Modules range from Basic Laparoscopic Skills to procedures such as LapAppendectomy and LapColectomy, and ProMIS meets the ACS & ACGME RRC requirements for simulation.
