KUALA LUMPUR, July 9 -- Kyalio and the Endoscopic and Laparoscopic Surgeons of Asia (ELSA), a leading surgical association with over 2,600 members, jointly launched the Day-to-Day Endo-Laparoscopic Virtual Reality Surgical Library recently.
A first in Asia, the multi-platform VR Surgical Library, which utilises real-scene Virtual Reality, addresses the importance of continuous surgical training and enables cross-border surgical education to be sustained even in the face of COVID-19.
The library also supports long distance surgical training for young surgeons in developing countries and remote areas, according to a statement.
“The VR Surgical Library is major step forward in using technology to make surgical education accessible for surgeons around the world,” explained Prof Davide Lomanto, who is leading the digital education programme at ELSA.
“Continuous learning helps members to become more effective in their own surgical practice. Our partnership with Kyalio amplifies our global surgical education efforts in an affordable and accessible way."
VR technology allows learners from worldwide to gain exposure to a wide range of cases by placing them beside leading experts in the operating theatres, enhancing their knowledge and skills to improve surgical outcomes in their own practices.
More than half a million young surgeons in Asia stand to benefit from this technology.
Headquartered in Singapore, Kyalio was established in 2019 with the mission of creating affordable yet advanced technologies for large scale surgical education.
