Traditional medical training faces challenges like ethical concerns, safety risks, and high costs. VR technology offers a promising solution but is limited by low complexity and lack of tactile feedback. This paper presents a cost-effective haptic VR surgery simulation which simulates realistic Kidney Transplant using commercial devices to enhance training authenticity and immersion. Trainees can conduct incision and anastomosis procedures using a haptic stylus device that provides tactile sensations. Results from the test with medical participants showed that haptic feedback positively enhances the VR medical training experience.
