Adverse events occur in around 1 in 10 admissions to hospital.The surgical team is comprised of a surgeon, anesthesiologist, scrub technician/nurse, anesthetic assistant, and circulating staff. Superior team performance is strongly associated with a reduction in adverse events, complications, and mortality, and with improved patient outcomes.Implementation of interventions that focus on team performance within surgery has resulted in both improvements in nontechnical skills and also, reduced intraoperative technical error.Immersive virtual reality (iVR), is an easily accessible technology where participants from anywhere in the world can enter a virtual OR and perform surgery using a motion-tracked headset and controllers.The anterior approach (AA) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) is known to be technically challenging with a strenuous learning curve.
