Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

785
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Telemedicine

Background:

  • Simulation training in laparoscopy is limited outside North America.
  • A novel stepwise training method using tele-mentoring was investigated.
  • This approach aims to improve access to laparoscopic skills training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficiency of a stepwise training method combined with tele-mentoring for laparoscopic skills.
  • To compare the time efficiency of stepwise versus comprehensive training approaches.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical residents were randomized into stepwise (SG) and comprehensive (CG) training groups for intracorporeal suturing.
  • Weekly coaching was provided via a tele-mentoring system (web conferencing).
  • Coaching session duration and self-practice time were compared between groups.

Main Results:

  • All 20 participating residents achieved proficiency in intracorporeal suturing.
  • Tele-mentoring sessions were successfully completed without technical issues.
  • The stepwise group (SG) demonstrated significantly shorter coaching times per session compared to the comprehensive group (CG).

Conclusions:

  • The stepwise training method, enhanced by a tele-mentoring system, is an efficient technique for surgical trainees.
  • This method optimizes the use of time for both trainees and trainers in laparoscopic skill acquisition.
  • Tele-mentoring facilitates effective remote surgical skills education.
