Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Simulation
  • Laparoscopic Training

Background:

  • High-fidelity simulators improve laparoscopic skills but are costly and limited.
  • This study investigates motivation and skill differences using low-cost (Blackbox) vs. high-fidelity (LapMentor) simulators for basic skills training (BST).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare medical students' motivation and surgical skill performance after BST using Blackbox versus LapMentor simulators.
  • To assess the correlation between simulator training experience and performance on a virtual reality simulator.

Main Methods:

  • 63 medical students were randomized into Blackbox or LapMentor BST groups.
  • Participants completed questionnaires and visuospatial tests; 47 students underwent subsequent testing on the MIST-VR simulator.

Main Results:

  • More students in the Blackbox group completed all MIST-VR tests.
  • Students perceived LapMentor as more difficult; liking the Blackbox training correlated with performance, especially in women.
  • Gender-specific differences in motivation and performance correlations were observed.

Conclusions:

  • Low-cost Blackbox laparoscopic BST is valuable in high-tech training environments.
  • Blackbox BST experience correlates with MIST-VR simulator performance, with some gender-specific variations.
