Abstract Introduction Simulator training is an efficient method for the development of basic laparoscopic skills. We aimed to investigate if low-cost simulators are comparable more expensive box trainers regarding surgeons usability, likability, and performance. Methods This multi-center, randomized crossover study included 16 medical students, seven abdominal surgeons, urological surgeons. Participants performed four tasks (peg transfer, circle cutting, balloon resection, suture knot) on...
Abstract Recent technological advances have made Virtual Reality (VR) attractive in both research and real world applications such as training, rehabilitation, gaming. Although these other fields benefited from VR technology, it remains unclear whether contributes to better spatial understanding training the context of surgical planning. In this study, we evaluated use by comparing recall information two learning conditions: a head-mounted display (HMD) desktop screen (DT). Specifically,...
Abstract Background Virtual reality is a frequently chosen method for learning the basics of robotic surgery. However, it unclear whether tissue handling adequately trained in VR training compared to on real system. Methods In this randomized controlled trial, participants were split into two groups “Fundamentals Robotic Surgery (FRS)” either DaVinci simulator (VR group) or system (Robot group). All completed four tasks before (Baseline test), after proficiency three FRS (Midterm and all...
Abstract Training improves skills in minimally invasive surgery. This study aimed to investigate the learning curves of complex motion parameters for both hands during a standardized training course using novel measurement tool. An additional focus was placed on representing surgical safety and precision. Fifty-six laparoscopic novices participated basic surgery based modified Fundamentals Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) curriculum. Before, twice during, once after practical lessons, all...
Postoperative serum hyperamylasemia (POH) is a part of the new, increasingly highlighted, definition for postpancreatectomy pancreatitis (PPAP). The aim this study to analyse if biochemical changes PPAP are differently associated with postoperative complications after distal pancreatectomy (DP) compared pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). textbook outcome (TO) was used as summary measure capture real world data. data were retrospectively extracted from prospective clinical database. Patients POH,...
Tissue handling is a crucial skill for surgeons and challenging to learn. The aim of this study was develop laparoscopic instruments with different integrated tactile vibration feedback by varying modalities assess its effect on tissue skills.
Abstract Background The detrimental impact of malnutrition and cachexia in cancer patients subjected to surgical resection is well established. However, how systemic local metabolic alterations the serum metabolite signature, thereby leading cancer‐specific differences, poorly defined. In order implement metabolomics as a potential tool clinical diagnostics disease follow‐up, targeted profiling based on quantitative measurements essential. We hypothesized that profile assessed by 1 H nuclear...
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) requires intense education and training with structured supervision feedback. However, a standardized structure is lacking in Germany. This nationwide survey aimed to assess the current state of minimally factors impacting surgeons' satisfaction.
Background:Simulator training is an efficient tool to develop surgical novice's basic laparoscopic skills.Currently simulator takes mainly place in simulation centers at hospitals and universities.Additionally, most trainees have use overtime for purposes since it mostly not included during normal working hours.Recent studies also indicated the possibility of low cost at-home surgery, opening up new personalized possibilities.Such modalities support surgeons' initial acquisitions skills as...
Background The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic rapidly accelerated need and implementation digital innovations, especially in medicine. Objective To gain a better understanding stress associated with transformation physicians, this study aims to identify working conditions that are relevant for physicians differ dependence on transformation. In addition, we examined potential role individual characteristics (ie, age, gender, actual innovation within last 3 years) digitalization-associated...
Surgeons are often exposed to different types of operative room (OR) noise, for instance machine alarms, phone calls, and interacting objects. The aim this study was evaluate the effect OR noise on surgeons' laparoscopic performance.
The treatment of choice for patients presenting with obstructive cholestasis due to periampullary carcinoma is oncologic resection without preoperative biliary drainage (PBD). However, PBD becomes virtually impossible in cholangitis or severely impaired liver cell function. appropriate duration by has not yet been defined these patients.A retrospective analysis was conducted on 170 scheduled pancreatic following between January 2012 and June 2018 at the University Hospital Dresden Germany....
During laparoscopic surgery, surgeons may experience prolonged periods without fluid intake, which might impact surgical performance, yet there are no objective data investigating this issue. Therefore, the aim of study was to elucidate effect dehydration on performance and tissue handling.
Abstract Background Coffee can increase vigilance and performance, especially during sleep deprivation. The hypothetical downside of caffeine in the surgical field is potential interaction with ergonomics movement central nervous system. objective this trial was to investigate influence on laparoscopic performance. Methods Fifty novices participated prospective randomized, blinded crossover were trained a modified FLS curriculum until reaching predefined proficiency. Subsequently, all...
The most common hospital-acquired enteral infection is caused by Clostridium difficile. Unfortunately, difficile infections (CDI) are of high risk to recur and little known about how predict recurrences. Previous findings have shown that for recurrence correlates with low levels C. toxin-A -B specific antibodies suggesting the protective role humoral immunity against bacterial virulence factors. Therefore, aim this study was develop an immunoassay, which specifically measures C.difficile...
Abstract Background Preoperative anaemia is a prevalent morbidity predictor that adversely affects short- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing surgery. This analysis aimed to investigate preoperative its detrimental effects on after distal pancreatectomy. Material methods The present study was propensity-score match 286 consecutive Patients were screened for classified according WHO recommendations. primary outcome measure overall morbidity. secondary endpoints in-hospital mortality...
