Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Surgical Education
  • Fetal Surgery

Background:

  • Surgical simulation is crucial for training.
  • Assessing surgical skill acquisition in complex procedures like fetoscopic spina bifida repair requires validated tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel simulation model's effectiveness in measuring surgical performance changes.
  • To assess the impact of varying expertise levels on performance within a simulated fetoscopic spina bifida repair environment.

Main Methods:

  • Three practitioners (fetal surgeon, fellow, medical student) performed 10 sessions of fetoscopic spina bifida repair on a simulator.
  • Performance was measured using the Global Rating Scale (GRS), time to completion, and watertightness of the closure.
  • Statistical models analyzed the influence of expertise and session number on GRS scores, operation time, and watertight closure achievement.

Main Results:

  • Expertise level significantly impacted Global Rating Scale scores (p=0.04).
  • Operation time decreased significantly with practice (p<0.001).
  • The fetal surgeon achieved optimal watertight closure in 60% of cases, compared to 30% for the fellow and student.

Conclusions:

  • The fetoscopic spina bifida repair simulator effectively demonstrated changes in surgical performance.
  • The simulator shows potential for enhancing surgical skills across different practitioner experience levels.
  • Further research with larger cohorts is necessary to confirm these findings.
