EdHeads Virtual Surgery Games

If you're not a real surgeon, but you want to play one (on the web), EdHeads.org has created a site that's just for you.


The EdHeads team creates educational interactive web modules. There are currently nine activities to choose from. The medically related ones are surgical deep brain stimulation, hip replacement, hip resurfacing, and knee surgery.

Once you've entered one of the surgical activities, you'll be taken from the Reception Desk into the hallway of the OR. A virtual surgeon will orient you to your patient and have questions for you to interact with and answer throughout the tutorial. You will be asked to select different surgical instruments and use them during the surgery.

The tutorial is narrated, but you can also select the Subtitles icon to see closed captioning. If you want to skip ahead to different parts of the tutorial, select the Activity Site Map icon.

If you have the stomach to view actual photos of the surgeries being described, click on the Surgery Photos icon.

Included with each activity is a Teacher's Guide to give you ideas of how to make the activities a useful learning tool for your students. There are sample quiz questions and answers, a glossary, and additional helpful resources on the topic.

If you're in the mood for something non-medical, check out the others, such as Designing a Cell Phone or learning how to predict and report the Weather.

Be inspired to have fun!

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more
than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.
However just imagine if you added some great graphics or videos
to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and
video clips, this blog could certainly be one of the very best in its
field. Fantastic blog!

Definitely believe that which you said. Your favourite justification seemed
to be on the internet the simplest factor to take into account of.
I say to you, I definitely get annoyed even as people consider issues that
they plainly do not realize about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as neatly
as defined out the entire thing with no need side effect ,
folks could take a signal. Will likely be back
to get more. Thanks

The longer hulk fights the stronger hulk will get! the madder hulk
gets the stronger hulk will get! Physical trauma, stress, and exertion
trigger hulks cells to take on far more gamma radiation and become even stronger.

The more of his energy he expends the a lot more he he will get again with interest.

adrenaline-fueled anger is simply one of the techniques
his power manifest itself. It seems people get baffled about that since he's the greatest genetic freak of fantastic proportions ever and harder to explain than Superman. he does struggle with how he'll
protect the world and save the working day with his power like superman.
He worries about his temper tantrums destroying the world
and the only items of worth in his life.

Virtual reality enables the surgeon to control the movements of the robotic arm, in particular, small, delicate movements which would be difficult to perform by a human surgeon. Another use is ‘remote telesurgery’ where the patient is operated on by a surgeon who is in a different location. In other words, he or she is in a separate location to the patient.
