Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

A module-based surgical training program improved hernia repair skills significantly more than traditional methods. This approach offers better long-term surgical competency and is likely adaptable to other procedures.

Area of Science:

Surgical Education
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Surgical Skills Training

Background:

Traditional surgical training faces challenges including patient safety, cost, and limited procedure exposure due to reduced working hours.
Module-based training models can enhance the acquisition and retention of surgical skills.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare the effectiveness of a module-based training model versus standard clinical training for Lichtenstein hernia repair.
To assess the impact on operative skills and operative time in surgical residents.

Main Methods:

A randomized controlled trial involving 18 surgical registrars (PGY 3+) across eight Danish hospitals.
The intervention group received a skills-lab course followed by 20 supervised Lichtenstein hernia repairs.
Operative performance was video-recorded and blindly assessed using a validated skills rating scale.

Main Results:

The module-based training group showed significant improvement in operative skills ratings immediately post-intervention (p=0.044) and at 1-year follow-up (p=0.019).
The conventionally trained group showed no significant change in skills ratings (p=0.51).
Operative time also favored the module-based training group.

Conclusions:

A module-based training model for Lichtenstein hernia repair is superior to standard clinical training in both short-term and long-term outcomes.
This training model shows potential applicability to other surgical procedures.
