  • Examination of the logistical and resource challenges of traditional proctoring.

    • Main Results:

    • Computerized surgical simulations offer a promising avenue to enhance surgical skills.
    • Physicians are more prone to errors during initial procedures (the learning curve).
    • Traditional proctoring models present significant logistical and resource burdens.

    Conclusions:

    • Computerized surgical simulations can mitigate risks associated with the learning curve.
    • Simulation-based training provides a scalable and accessible solution for surgical education.
    • This technology can improve patient safety and reduce morbidity and mortality.
