Official title:
Comparing Surgical Proficiency of Laparoscopic Vaginal Cuff Suturing in Surgically Naïve Learners After Training With Two Different Laparoscopic Simulators: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Study type | Interventional |
Surgically naive premedical and medical students were trained on two different laparoscopic simulation trainers, then tested on the same vaginal cuff suturing model. Video recordings were collected from the vaginal cuff suturing tasks. These recordings were graded by expert gynecologic surgeons using a laparoscopic skills rubric. Their scores were compared to determine if one of the two laparoscopic trainers better prepared surgically naive students to complete a gynecologic surgical task.

Other | Student-reported confidence on laparoscopic surgical task performance | All participants completed a survey after training where they rated their confidence in performing individual laparoscopic tasks using a 5-point Likert scale. Scores will be compared between the two study arms to determine if either simulator is associated with higher confidence ratings for completing laparoscopic tasks. | 4 hours | |
Primary | Proficiency of surgically naive premedical/medical students at completing a vaginal cuff suturing task following training on one of two laparoscopic simulators | Using a previously validated laparoscopic skills assessment tool (Global Operative Assessment of Laparoscopic Skills, or GOALS), two expert MIGS surgeons reviewed each video and scored it using a modified version of the GOALS tool. Each participant was ultimately given a GOALS composite score, which was made up of 8 individual skill domains (3 of which were added to make the scoring relevant and specific to the vaginal cuff suturing task). The GOALS scores serve to measure student surgical proficiency at laparoscopic tasks. | 4 hours | |
Secondary | Correlation of fine motor skills task experience with laparoscopic surgical task performance | Demographic data was collected from each participant in a survey prior to their training session. This data included experience with fine motor skills tasks, including video games, sewing and playing an instrument. As above, objective performance scores were obtained after video grading using a modified version of the GOALS tool. GOALS scores from participants with fine motor skills task performance were compared with GOALS scores for participants without the same prior fine motor skills task experience to assess for associations between performance and previous fine motor skill task experience. | 4 hours |
