SINGAPORE, July 9 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — On July 1st, 2021, 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. 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.
VR technology allows learners from around the world 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.
