VR is especially applicable in simulations for surgical training. VR allows surgeons to practice hundreds of procedures prior to patient
contact, and the practice carries no risk to live patients. Since doctors with less experience are in general more likely to produce errors, VR simulations could theoretically reduce physician error. VR will also reduce the high costs of training resources such as lab animals and physician's time.
VR surgical simulation development has been concentrated on Minimally Invasive Surgery
(MIS), partly because the paradigm for MIS already involves a physician looking at a monitor. An MIS simulation involves putting the instruments through openings and displaying a computer generated model overlaid upon visuals of surgical representations. Organs for Virtual Reality surgery should not only look like real organs, they should act like real
organs, they should undulate and reflect the light when touched, and compress when squeezed or cut.
