Landmark Study

This landmark study examined the value of simulation training in laparoscopic surgery. This study examining the MISTELS training program showed that inanimate laparoscopic simulators can be used to teach, practice, and assess basic laparoscopic skills prior to entering the operating room and performing surgery on live patients. The MISTELS simulation training program is the basis for the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) program administered by Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons. This chapter describes the basics of the study, including funding, year study began, year study was published, study location, who was studied, who was excluded, how many patients, study design, study intervention, follow-up, endpoints, results, and criticism and limitations. The chapter briefly reviews other relevant studies and information, gives a summary and discusses implications, and concludes with a relevant clinical case.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate laparoscopic skills of third-year Gynecology and Obstetrics residents after training at a training and surgical experimentation center. Methods Use of a prospective questionnaire analyzing demographic data, medical residency, skills, competences, and training in a box trainer and in pigs. Results After the training, there was significant improvement in laparoscopic skills according to the residents (before 1.3/after 2.7; p=0.000) and preceptors (before 2.1/after 4.8; p=0.000). There was also significant improvement in the feeling of competence in surgeries with level 1 and 2 of difficulty. All residents approved the training. Conclusion The training was distributed into 12 hours in the box trainer and 20 hours in animals, and led to better laparoscopic skills and a feeling of more surgical competence in laparoscopic surgery levels 1 and 2.

Surgical Training Program

This manuscript aimed to review the literature data related to the surgical training program. This review showed some of the requirements to perform effective surgical training were direct supervision, predetermined repetitions according to surgical skill complexity, valid simulator models, number of students per model. This manuscript discussed how the surgical program could achieve competence using a critical thinking framework, integrated curriculum based on the rationale behind simulation training program.
