Multimedia-based training significantly improved surgical skills, outperforming traditional practical training alone. This digital approach is a valuable addition to surgical education curricula.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Surgical procedures demand extensive preparation and concentration.
  • Internet platforms for surgical content are emerging.
  • The impact of multimedia-based training on surgical skills is not well-established.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of multimedia-based training on surgical performance.
  • To compare multimedia training with practical training and a combination approach.

Main Methods:

  • A 2x2 factorial randomized controlled trial with 70 participants.
  • Four groups: multimedia training, practical training, combination training, and control.
  • Surgical performance assessed using Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) on a laparoscopic cholecystectomy simulator.

Published on: January 6, 2023

Main Results:

  • Multimedia-based training group showed the highest improvement in OSATS scores (4.7 ± 3.3, p < 0.001).
  • Combination training also showed significant improvement (4.6 ± 3.5, p < 0.001).
  • Practical training group improved (2.5 ± 4.3, p = 0.028), while the control group showed minimal change (0.8 ± 2.9, p = 0.294).

Conclusions:

  • Multimedia-based training significantly enhances surgical performance.
  • This digital method is a viable tool for surgical curricula.
  • It offers a valuable supplement or alternative to traditional training methods.
