Summary
Simulation-based training significantly improves technical skills in gynecologic endoscopy. This method enhances procedural efficiency and patient safety for trainees.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Surgical Simulation
- Gynecologic Endoscopy
Background:
- Simulation-based training offers a controlled environment to enhance surgical skills.
- Potential benefits include improved technical performance, procedural efficiency, and patient safety.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review the effectiveness of simulation-based training in gynecologic endoscopy.
- To evaluate standardized assessment measures used in simulation training.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases up to November 2024.
- Included studies reported participant data, simulation types, duration, interventions, and assessment measures.
- Risk of bias assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool.
Main Results:
- Nine studies with 342 participants were analyzed.
- Simulation modalities included box trainers, virtual reality, and high-fidelity models.
- Simulation-based training correlated with superior objective technical performance.
Conclusions:
- Simulation-based training demonstrably improves objective technical performance in gynecologic endoscopy.
- Standardized assessment tools confirm the efficacy of simulation in surgical skill acquisition.
