Intensive surgical simulation training significantly improved otolaryngology trainees' skills in rigid bronchoscopy and foreign body removal. Post-training performance showed marked improvements in speed and accuracy.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Surgical skills courses are crucial for training otolaryngology residents.
  • Assessing the efficacy of these simulation-based courses is essential for skill attainment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of skills-laboratory-based training for rigid bronchoscopy and bronchial foreign body removal.
  • To quantify improvements in surgical skill proficiency among trainees.

Main Methods:

  • Trainee bronchoscopies were recorded and analyzed by a single observer.
  • Performance was assessed based on time to completion and four predefined surgical error parameters.
  • An overall quality score was calculated, and data analyzed using paired t-tests.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvement in time to complete the task post-training (P < 0.001).
  • Substantial reduction in the overall quality score, indicating fewer errors post-training (66 pre-training vs. 17 post-training; P < 0.001).

Conclusions:

  • Intensive, simulation-based surgical training courses are effective for enhancing surgical skill proficiency.
  • This training methodology demonstrates a positive impact on resident performance in rigid bronchoscopy procedures.
