Currently, the short of endoscopic surgeons has been identified as one of the medical issues in Japan. In order to increase the number of endoscopic surgeons, the training environments have been developed and widely used all over the world. However, neither the functions of correcting wrong operation nor instructing correct operation have been established in the existing training systems. Then, this study aims to develop a VR training system, where a trainee can experience the operation skill of an advising doctor. In this paper, the authors implemented the system validation with inexperienced doctors and skillful doctors. Virtual reality based surgical simulator systems are very elegant approach to enhancing traditional training in endoscopic surgery. This paper briefly introduces the VR training system we have developed and shows the experimental results.
