This study shows a low-cost laparoscopic surgery model effectively differentiates surgical expertise in common bile duct exploration tasks. Experts outperformed novices and intermediates in critical procedures, validating the model's utility.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Medical Simulation
  • Laparoscopic Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic surgery training models offer a safe practice environment.
  • A novel 4-task, low-cost inert model was developed for practicing common bile duct exploration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the construct validity of a low-cost laparoscopic surgical model.
  • To assess the model's ability to differentiate surgical expertise in common bile duct exploration.

Main Methods:

  • Three expertise groups (novices, intermediates, experts) performed four tasks on the model.
  • Tasks included intraoperative cholangiography catheter insertion, transcystic exploration, T-tube placement, and choledochoscope management.
  • Statistical analysis (Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney) identified performance differences.

Published on: May 2, 2025

Main Results:

  • The model differentiated expertise in transcystic exploration and T-tube placement, with experts showing superior performance.
  • Intraoperative cholangiography catheter insertion performance was similar across all groups.
  • Choledochoscope management lacked statistical validation.

Conclusions:

  • The low-cost model demonstrates construct validity for key common bile duct exploration skills.
  • Tasks 2 (transcystic exploration) and 3 (T-tube placement) effectively distinguished surgical skill levels.
  • Further validation is needed for tasks 1 and 4.
