Distributed versus Massed Training: Efficiency of Training Psychomotor Skills

Koen van Dongen, Peter Mitra, Marlies P. Schijven et al. · 13 Oct 2011

Virtual reality simulators have shown to be valid and useful tools for training psychomotor skills for endoscopic surgery. Discussion arises how to integrate these simulators into the surgical training curriculum. Distributed training is referred to as short training periods, with rest periods in between. Massed training is training in continuous and longer training blocks. This…

Robotic surgery seemed to overcome laparoscopic limitations with 3D visualization, the increased degrees of freedom given with Endowrist instruments, tremor filtering, better dexterity, and improved ergonomics for the surgeon. Methods: This work was a retrospective analysis of our first…

Custom-Made 3D Titanium Plate for Mandibular Reconstruction in Surgery of Ameloblastoma: A Novel Case Report

Somangshu Chakraborty, Rajdeep Guha, Sukanya Naskar et al. · 31 Oct 2022

Ameloblastoma is a benign yet locally invasive odontogenic neoplasm, characterised by slow growth and painless swelling. The treatment for ameloblastoma varies from curettage to en bloc resection, with recurrence commonly occurring. The safety margin of resection is hence essential to avoid recurrence. Understanding the three-dimensional anatomy for reconstruction of mandibular defects after tumour resection often…
