Abstract：Objective To explore the application of the combination of robot assisted surgery technology and simulated medical education in the practical teaching of percutaneous vertebroplasty teaching and whether it could help resident physicians master the technique and improve their learning interest more quickly and effectively.Methods From April 2020 to April 2024,according to the different years of standardized residency training,they were divided into two groups with 60 in each.The observation group used robot assisted technology combined with simulated medical teaching,and operated in practice.The control group used medical simulators to practice traditional teaching.Both groups underwent three rounds of practice exercises.After each round of operation,medical simulators underwent computed tomography scans to evaluate the puncture channel and bone cement leakage.Results After three rounds of training,all resident physicians fully mastered the percutaneous kyphoplasty surgical procedure.In the observation group,55 mastered the operation in the first round,4 in the second round,and 1 in the third round.In the control group,45 mastered the operation in the first round,9 in the second round,and 6 in the third round.The difference in learning outcomes between the two groups was statistically significant(P=0.041).There were statistically significant differences(P<0.05)in the scores of teaching satisfaction and interest between the two groups.Conclusion The combination of robot assisted surgery technology and simulated medical education in orthopedic standardized residency training can shorten the learning cycle,and improve their interest and learning acceptance,thus enables them to quickly master the technical points of percutaneous kyphoplasty.
