Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Medical Simulation
  • Laparoscopic Surgery Training

Background:

  • Effective training modalities for novice laparoscopic surgeons are crucial for patient safety and skill acquisition.
  • Traditional surgical education relies on didactic learning and observation, which may not adequately prepare trainees for complex procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy of virtual-reality (VR) simulator training versus surgical training on live pigs for novice laparoscopic surgeons.
  • To determine the most effective and evidence-based training modality for foundational laparoscopic skills.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial involving 36 novice surgical residents was conducted.
  • Participants were assigned to VR simulator training, live pig surgery training, or a control group (traditional methods).
  • Performance was assessed using the Global Operative Assessment of Laparoscopic Skills (GOALS) instrument on video-recorded simulated cholecystectomies.

Main Results:

  • Both VR simulation and live pig training groups demonstrated significantly better performance than the control group (P < 0.001).
  • There was no significant difference in performance between the VR simulator group and the live pig surgery group (P = 0.66).

Conclusions:

  • Novice surgical trainees benefit equally from VR simulator training and live pig surgery simulation.
  • VR simulators are recommended for basic laparoscopic skills training, while live animal surgery is suggested for higher-level training.
