Objective: This study aimed to design a low-cost, simulation training platform for the ligation of deep dorsal vein (DVC) complex in radical prostatectomy and validate its training effectiveness.
Methods: A simplified prostate urethra model was produced by 0-degree silica gel and pulse pressure banding. This model was placed on a slope of about 30 degrees using cardboard to thus creating a narrow environment of the pelvis.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess the effectiveness and acceptance of a budget-friendly robotic surgery dry lab designed to train residents in key steps of robotic radical prostatectomy.
- Participants, including medical students, residents, and attending surgeons, demonstrated significant differences in task performance and skill assessments, indicating the dry lab's validity in measuring technical proficiency.
- Although the dry lab received positive feedback for its validity and acceptability, it was noted that its realism compared to actual human tissue was lacking, despite the total cost being under $25.

Background: In medical education, new technologies like Virtual Reality (VR) are increasingly integrated to enhance digital learning. Originally used to train surgical procedures, now use cases also cover emergency scenarios and non-technical skills like clinical decision-making. This scoping review aims to provide an overview of VR in medical education, including requirements, advantages, disadvantages, as well as evaluation methods and respective study results to establish a foundation for future VR integration into medical curricula.
