Development and evaluation summaries of a percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) surgical simulator
Traditional surgical training methods, such as the use of cadavers, and porcine models (pigs) fall short of providing the realistic, real-time feedback necessary for mastering complex procedures. Virtual reality (VR) simulators with haptics offer a significant improvement, delivering immersive and …
