TL;DR
A brief, structured ex-vivo curriculum significantly enhances laparoscopic suturing proficiency, and programs should be integrated into core surgical residency curricula from the earliest stages of training.
PURPOSE To evaluate the content, construct, concurrent, and transfer validity of the Fundamentals of Arthroscopic Surgery Training (FAST) program and to determine whether FAST testing performance correlated with arthroscopic performance in the operating room. METHODS Participants were postgraduate years 1 to 3 (PGY1-...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether technical performance in open, laparoscopic, and robotic gastrojejunostomy simulation transfers across operative platforms among general surgery residents completing structured curricula. It was hypothesized that residents would improve within each curriculum, but that final technical perf...
OBJECTIVE Spinal endoscopy is associated with a steep learning curve, in part owing to its limited depth perception, which increases the need for training models. This study aimed to investigate construct and predictive validity of the Endobox as a low-fidelity training model for biportal endoscopy. METHODS To assess...
BACKGROUND Simulation-based surgical training provides a safe environment for developing technical skills before operating on patients. In low-resource settings, however, access to high-fidelity simulators is limited. This study evaluated the educational effectiveness of a low-cost animal-tissue model using sheep intes...
The LC-CUSUM method serves as a robust and individualized tool for monitoring surgical performance, supporting a shift from traditional volume-based requirements to objective, competency-based training models.
Background: Access to cardiovascular surgical simulation remains limited by cost, logistical complexity, and dependence on dedicated facilities. MAGA SURGICAL SIMULATOR 2.0 was developed as a portable, modular, suitcase-based platform combining open and endoscopic training with active fluid circulation and immediate le...
