Mastering laparoscopic suturing, a critical aspect of minimally invasive surgery, remains challenge. Self-assessment and 'reflection before practice' may enhance the learning curve suturing. This study investigates optimal frequency self-assessment reflection practice in suturing training. Participants (medical students, surgical residents, medical PhD students) underwent training at home using simulator (LaparoscopyBoxx). Three groups were formed: 'control group' without self-assessment,...
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...
It is difficult, time consuming and expensive to assess manual skills in open surgery. The aim of this study investigate the construct validity a low-cost, easily accessible tracking technique for basic suturing tasks. Medical master students, surgical residents, surgeons at Radboud University Center were recruited between September 2020 until 2021. participants divided, according experience, novice group (≤10 sutures performed) an expert (>50 performed). For objective tracking, tablet with...
To develop and maintain suturing skills, clinical exposure is important. When cannot be guaranteed, an adequate training schedule for skills required. This study evaluates the effect of continuous training, 'reflection before practice' self-assessment on basic open skills.
Abstract Background Skill deterioration of minimally invasive surgical (MIS) skills may be prevented by continuous training. The aim this study is to evaluate whether unsupervised at-home training MIS results in better skill retention compared no Methods Medical doctors followed a two-week interval for two tasks (precise peg transfer and interrupted suture with knot tying), ending baseline test. They were randomly assigned the no-practice group or continuous-practice group. latter practiced...
Abstract Background Simulation-based training may be used to acquire MIS skills. While mostly done in a simulation center, it is proposed that this can undertaken at-home as well. The aim of study evaluate whether unsupervised and assessment skills feasible results increased Methods Medical doctors senior medical students were tested on their innate abilities by performing pre-test take-home simulator. Henceforth, they followed two-week interval practicing two advanced (an interrupted suture...
The aim of this study was to develop an adequate tracking method for open surgical training, using the instrument or hand motions. An training model and SurgTrac application were used track four separate suturing tasks. These tasks performed with colour markings either instruments fingers, find most promising setting reliable tracking. Four experiments optimal settings system. Tracking not usable knot tying by hand. fingers seemed be a more method. Tagging coloured balloon-tube, (1.2–3.0%...
