Abstract Background Compared to conventional laparoscopy, robot assisted surgery is expected have most potential in difficult areas and demanding technical skills like minimally invasive suturing. This study was performed identify the differences learning curves of laparoscopic versus Method Novice participants three suturing tasks on EoSim augmented reality simulator or RobotiX virtual simulator. Each participant an intracorporeal task, a tilted plane needle transfer task anastomosis task....
In 2017, the European Commission launched 24 Reference Networks (ERNs). ERN eUROGEN is network for urorectogenital diseases and complex conditions, started with 29 full member healthcare providers (HCPs) in 11 countries. It then covered 19 different disease areas distributed over three workstreams (WSs).To provide an overview identify challenges data collection at level of patient population treated by HCPs network.A retrospective cohort study was conducted who were members between 2013...
The purpose of this study was to validate the eoSim, an affordable and mobile inanimate laparoscopic simulator with instrument tracking capabilities, regarding face, content construct validity on complex suturing tasks. Participants recruited for were novices (no experience), target group training (surgical/gynaecologic/urologic residents, > 10 basic < 20 advanced procedures) experts (> procedures). Each participant performed intracorporeal exercise (Task 1), upside down needle transfer 2,...
Laparoscopic suturing can be technically challenging and requires extensive training to achieve competency. To date no specific objective assessment method for laparoscopic knot tying is available that guide monitor performance in these complex surgical skills. In this study we aimed develop a competency tool (LS-CAT) assess its inter-observer reliability.We developed bespoke CAT through structured, mixed methodology approach, overseen by steering committee with experience developing tools....
Background: The eoSim® laparoscopic augmented reality (AR) simulator has instrument tracking capabilities that may be suitable for implementation in training. objective is to assess face, content, and construct validity of this basic skills Methods: Participants were divided into three groups: novices (no training), intermediates (<50 procedures), experts (>50 procedures). Three tasks completed on the simulator: thread transfer (1), cyst dissection (2), tube ligation (3). A questionnaire was...
BackgroundMinimal invasive surgery (MIS) is increasingly used for the correction of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and esophageal atresia (EA). It important to master these complex procedures, preferably preclinically, avoid complications. The aim this study was validate recently developed models train MIS procedures preclinically.MethodsTwo low cost, reproducible (one CDH one EA) were validated during several pediatric surgical conferences training sessions (January 2017–December...
Background: To increase complex minimally invasive skills (MIS), frequent training outside the clinical setting is of uttermost importance. This study compares two low-cost pediatric MIS simulators, which can easily be used preclinically. Materials and Methods: The LaparoscopyBoxx a portable simulator without tracking system, with costs ranging from €90 to €315. EoSim has built-in camera system range €780 €1800. During several surgical conferences workshops (January 2017-December 2018),...
Introduction: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) suturing demands advanced surgical skills. Therefore, it is important these skills are adequately trained and assessed. Assessment feedback can consist of judgments scores expert observers or objective parameters using instrument tracking. The aim this study was to determine what extent correspond assessment. Methods: Participants performed an intracorporeal task on the EoSim simulator repeatedly (maximum 20 repetitions) during training. best...
Robot assisted surgery has expanded considerably in the past years. Compared to conventional open or laparoscopic surgery, virtual reality (VR) training is an essential component learning robot surgery. However, for tasks be implemented a curriculum, levels of validity should studied proficiency-based training. Therefore, this study was aimed assess evidence advanced suturing on VR simulator.Participants were voluntary recruited and divided robotic experienced, experienced novice group,...
Abstract Extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) cannulation can be a stressful procedure because fast is vital for the patient’s survival. Therefore, it important to train steps of outside clinical setting. A relatively low budget, easy use model, was developed most an ECMO cannulation. Following this, evaluated by experts and target group participants. They all completed questionnaire regarding their experience opinions on model general aspects training component steps, rated 5-point...
Background: Current training programs for complex pediatric minimal invasive surgery (MIS) are usually bulk training, consisting of 1- or 2-day courses. The aim this study was to examine the effects versus interval on preservation high-complex, low-volume MIS skills. Materials and Methods: Medical students, without prior surgical experience, were randomly assigned either a program (congenital diaphragmatic hernia [CDH] esophageal atresia [EA] repair). Both groups trained 5 hours; group twice...
IntroductionLearning minimally invasive suturing can be challenging, creating a barrier to further implementation, especially with the development of easier methods. Nevertheless, mastering intracorporeal knot tying is crucial when alternative techniques prove inadequate. Therefore, surgery (MIS) skills MIS experts are compared group novices during their learning curve on simulator.MethodsThe novice participants repeatedly performed task EoSim simulator (up maximum 20 repetitions). The (>50...
Abstract Robot assisted surgery (RAS) is increasingly used, and besides conventional minimally invasive (cMIS) surgeons are challenged to learn an increased array of skills. This study aimed assess the influence both learning curves on each other. A prospective randomized crossover was performed. Participants without cMIS or RAS experience (Groups 1 2), experienced, (Group 3) were recruited. Three suturing tasks (intracorporal suturing, tilted plane anastomosis needle transfer) performed...
