Laparoscopic surgical training using physical box-trainers significantly improved surgical skills. This method offers a reliable way to assess and enhance proficiency in minimally invasive surgery for new surgeons.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Medical Simulation

Background:

  • Advancements in minimally invasive surgery necessitate novel training and skill assessment methods.
  • Virtual and physical box-trainers are suitable tools for improving laparoscopic surgical proficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of physical box-trainer training in enhancing laparoscopic surgical skills.
  • To monitor skill acquisition and assess progress during surgical training.

Main Methods:

  • 34 students underwent laparoscopic training using physical box-trainers.
  • Skill assessment involved three exercises: pellet transfer, excision, and clipping.
  • Key metrics included exercise completion time and hand movement tracks (left and right).

Main Results:

  • Total training duration was 28 hours.
  • Significant reduction in time to complete exercises was observed.
  • A significant decrease in left-hand movement track and a partial reduction in right-hand track were noted.

Conclusions:

  • Laboratory-based exercises are crucial for surgical skill acquisition in young surgeons.
  • Virtual reality laparoscopic training presents a promising educational tool for skill development and progress assessment.
