SRP is a computer-based system that allows surgeons to simulate and rehearse a specific surgical procedure in a virtual environment before performing the actual surgery on a patient. The benefits of SRP include:

​

• Enhanced Surgical Precision:Surgeons can refine their approach and optimise the surgical plan in a risk-free virtual environment.

• Reduced Operating Room Time:Familiarity with the procedure gained through simulation may lead to more efficient surgeries, potentially reducing operating room time.

• Improved Patient Outcomes:The ability to anticipate and address challenges in the virtual rehearsal may contribute to better patient outcomes.

• ​

While VSP and rehearsal platforms are becoming more sophisticated, their widespread adoption may depend on factors such as cost, accessibility, and the specific needs of surgical specialties.
