It has been about 20 years since the commercial use virtual reality (VR) surgical simulator was launched. We have used VR surgical simulator for surgical education from early stage. At present, the weight of the VR simulator in current surgical education is lower than initially expected. This has been mainly due to the discord between the expectation for the functions of the VR simulator of the coaching surgeon and the actual use of the VR simulators without essential comprehension of simulation training. In addition, the focus of developers of the VR simulators has been besides the points. In this article, we summarize the situation of VR simulator so far, and describe the future measures of surgical training using VR simulators more effectively from the view point of clinician.
