Summary

The Advanced Suturing Course (ASC) significantly improved residents' laparoscopic knot-tying skills and confidence. However, these gains were not sustained after 6 weeks of practice, highlighting the need for ongoing assessment in surgical training.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Skills Training
  • Laparoscopic Surgery

Context:

  • Basic laparoscopic skills training is crucial for surgical residents.
  • The Advanced Suturing Course (ASC) was developed to enhance this training.
  • Evaluating the efficacy of simulation-based surgical training is essential.

Purpose:

  • To determine the added value of the ASC within a resident surgical skills curriculum.
  • To assess the impact of the ASC on objective and subjective measures of laparoscopic proficiency.
  • To evaluate the retention of skills and confidence post-training.

Summary:

  • A prospective cohort study assessed 162 residents before and after the ASC using Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) and Motion Analysis Parameters (MAPs).

  • Significant improvements were observed in knot-tying scores and confidence in performing laparoscopic tasks immediately after the course.
  • Skills and confidence related to knot-tying and anastomosis showed no significant change after 6 weeks of autonomous practice.

    • Impact:

    • Simulation-based training effectively enhances specific basic laparoscopic skills in a short timeframe.
    • The study underscores the importance of regular practice, feedback, and skills assessment for sustained proficiency.
    • Findings inform curriculum development for surgical residency programs aiming to optimize laparoscopic skill acquisition.
