Zhou Y, Wijewickrema S, Ioannou I, Bailey J, Kennedy G, Nestel D, et al.
PLoS One . 2018 Jan; 13(1):e0190611. PMID: 29304127
We investigated the variation of drilled regions of expert and trainee surgeons performing virtual temporal bone surgery to identify their compliance with standard drilling procedures. To this end, we recruited...

Copson B, Wijewickrema S, Zhou Y, Piromchai P, Briggs R, Bailey J, et al.
Cochlear Implants Int . 2017 Feb; 18(2):89-96. PMID: 28238283
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of a virtual reality (VR) temporal bone simulator in training cochlear implant surgery. Methods: We compared the performance of 12 otolaryngology registrars conducting simulated cochlear...

Piromchai P, Avery A, Laopaiboon M, Kennedy G, OLeary S
Cochrane Database Syst Rev . 2015 Sep; (9):CD010198. PMID: 26352008
Background: Virtual reality simulation uses computer-generated imagery to present a simulated training environment for learners. This review seeks to examine whether there is evidence to support the introduction of virtual...

Piromchai P, Wijewickrema S, Smeds H, Kennedy G, OLeary S
Otol Neurotol . 2015 Jul; 36(8):1366-73. PMID: 26192260
Hypothesis: The internal anatomy of a temporal bone could be inferred from external landmarks. Background: Mastoid surgery is an important skill that ENT surgeons need to acquire. Surgeons commonly use...

Wijewickrema S, Ioannou I, Zhou Y, Piromchai P, Bailey J, Kennedy G, et al.
Stud Health Technol Inform . 2014 Apr; 196:462-8. PMID: 24732557
Timely feedback on surgical technique is an important aspect of surgical skill training in any learning environment, be it virtual or otherwise. Feedback on technique should be provided in real-time...

Ioannou I, Avery A, Zhou Y, Szudek J, Kennedy G, OLeary S
Laryngoscope . 2014 Apr; 124(9):2144-50. PMID: 24715702
Objectives/hypothesis: We compare the behavior of expert surgeons operating on the "gold standard" of simulation-the cadaveric temporal bone-against a high-fidelity virtual reality (VR) simulation. We aim to determine whether expert...
