Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Medical Simulation
  • Energy-Based Devices

Background:

  • Contemporary surgical practice relies heavily on energy-based devices.
  • A significant gap exists in comprehensive resident education regarding the safe and effective use of these tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an innovative training course for surgical residents focused on electrosurgery.
  • To enhance basic electrosurgery knowledge and promote safe device utilization among trainees.

Main Methods:

  • A simulated training course was designed for first-year general surgery and orthopedic residents.
  • The curriculum included online theoretical sessions and in-person practical training using cadaveric models.
  • Trainee performance was assessed using Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skill (OSATS), Specific Rating Scale (SRS), and Surgical Energy-based Devices Scale (SEBS), with third-year residents serving as a control group.

Main Results:

  • First-year residents demonstrated significant improvements in OSATS, SRS, and SEBS scores post-training.
  • The incidence of skin burns related to electro-scalpel use decreased dramatically after training.
  • Trained novices achieved performance levels comparable to third-year residents in SRS and SEBS, and showed significant improvement in OSATS.

Conclusions:

  • Structured electrosurgery education is crucial for surgical trainees.
  • Implementing such courses equips first-year residents with skills equivalent to those of third-year residents.
  • This educational approach can reduce complications from energy device misuse, thereby improving patient safety.
