Area of Science:

  • Surgical Simulation
  • Medical Education Technology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS)

Background:

  • Simulation offers advantages for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) skills training over traditional methods.
  • Simulation enables objective assessment of technical performance in surgical procedures.
  • The ProMIS augmented reality simulator was investigated for its ability to differentiate skill levels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if the ProMIS augmented reality simulator can objectively distinguish between expert and novice performance levels.
  • To evaluate the simulator's effectiveness in assessing skills on a complex laparoscopic suturing task.

Main Methods:

  • Ten subjects (5 experts, 5 novices) underwent baseline psychomotor and visio-spatial testing.
  • Subjects performed a laparoscopic suturing task on the ProMIS simulator over three trials.

  • Performance measures (time, smoothness, path distance, accuracy, errors) were analyzed and compared between groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Experts demonstrated significantly superior psychomotor abilities at baseline (p < 0.001).
    • Experts performed the suturing task significantly faster, with shorter path lengths, and smoother movements than novices (p < 0.0001).
    • The ProMIS simulator exhibited high internal consistency (alpha = 0.95) and reliably differentiated between expert and novice performance.

    Conclusions:

    • The ProMIS simulator shows construct validity, effectively distinguishing between expert and novice surgical skills.
    • The simulator possesses promising psychometric properties for skills assessment.
    • ProMIS offers a versatile platform for training and evaluating a wide range of MIS technical skills.
