A new low-cost laparoscopic training platform was developed for obstetrics and gynecology residents. User acceptability studies show it effectively simulates surgical skills for Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery certification.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Simulation
  • Gynecologic Surgery

Background:

  • Increased demand for Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) certification drives interest in simulation training.
  • Current FLS training relies on commercial laparoscopic box trainers.
  • Need for accessible, versatile, and cost-effective simulation tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and assess the user acceptability of a novel, low-cost laparoscopic training platform.
  • To create a versatile simulation tool for practicing FLS skills and other gynecologic procedures.
  • To offer a portable and space-efficient alternative for surgical skills training.

Main Methods:

  • Constructed a training platform using readily available materials (pine wood, eye hooks).

  • Designed blueprint for simulating FLS insert placement.
  • Administered usability and acceptability surveys to faculty and trainees.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed laparoscopic platform received favorable responses from trainees and faculty.
    • Participants reported that the platform closely simulated the experience of live laparoscopy.
    • The platform's design allows for task breakdown, with or without a camera, facilitating learning.

    Conclusions:

    • This novel, low-cost laparoscopic platform is a valuable addition to gynecologic surgical education simulation.
    • The training tool offers a cost-effective and adaptable solution for resident education.
    • The platform's versatility supports training for various laparoscopic tasks beyond FLS.
