NCT ID: NCT06301230 Completed - Surgical Training Clinical Trials

Home- vs. Hospital-based Surgical Training

Start date: September 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of training with a personal, portable laparoscopic endo-trainer (PLET) on residents' laparoscopic skills. All participants were randomised to either a home- or hospital-based PLET training group and surgical skill performance was assessed using five laparoscopic exercises. Endpoints consisted ofsubjective and objective assessment ratings as well as exercise time and qualitative data up to 12 weeks. The primary outcome was the difference in exercise time and secondary outcomes included performance scores as well as qualitative data.

Virtual Reality vs Technical Video in Surgical Training

Start date: January 30, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The use of instructional technical surgical videos is common in orthopaedic education. Many residents have used instructional technical surgical training videos prior to medical school, as well as during their residency program, and at instructional courses. The use of instructional technical surgical videos and multimedia is considered an adjunctive training method for orthopaedic residents to learn operative procedures. Immersive virtual reality (iVR) is increasingly used in surgical education. Recently, iVR has shown transfer of skill training in orthopaedics. The continued study of the effectiveness of iVR training in orthopaedic education could benefit new competency based orthopaedics residency programs. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of instructional technical surgical video training to immersive iVR training for teaching technical skills of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty. Our hypothesis was that iVR improved learning effectiveness compared to standard technical surgical video. Secondary objectives include validating a virtual reality ratings scale through correlation to real-world performance. We proposed a randomized, blinded intervention-control trial directly comparing immersive iVR versus technical surgical instructional video training in the teaching of reverse shoulder arthroplasty in senior residents, learning at the 2020 annual Canadian Shoulder and Elbow Society meeting.

NCT ID: NCT04302298 Completed - Virtual Reality Clinical Trials

The Role of Virtual Reality in Orthopaedic Surgery Education

Start date: August 20, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality are becoming prominent in the medical sciences due to the increasing sophistication of VR technology and its improving haptics to simulate real-life situations. Previous medical VR studies focused on arthroscopic minimally-invasive procedures which often do not carry the risk of invasive procedures. OssoVR, an orthopedic surgery virtual reality company, has created a platform to run through different invasive orthopedic procedures prior to operating on a patient. Given that invasive procedures inherently carry more risk and variability than minimally invasive procedures, training tools to help with these operations are vital prior to performing on a patient. The research team will evaluate the face validity, transfer validity, and surgical recall of the orthopedic virtual reality software in an intramedullary (IM) tibial nail procedure. The research team will evaluate the simulation with medical students who have not had prior exposure to the procedure. Including medical students will allow for a larger sample size for more analysis. An IM tibial nail procedure is used in tibial fractures to help stabilize the fractured long bone via placement of a nail within the bone.

Laparoscopic Training With and Without Robotic Assistance for Surgical Internes: a Randomized Study

LAPRA
Start date: February 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective of this study is to compare two groups of gynecologic/urologic/visceral internes in terms of the time required to perform a laparoscopic surgical intervention (nephrectomy) on an animal model (pig). The two groups of internes differ by the type of training they received: (1) Pelvic-Trainer training with robotic assistance versus (2) Pelvic-Trainer training without robotic assistance.

NCT ID: NCT01877824 Completed - Surgical Training Clinical Trials

Study of Fast-track Surgery in Hernia Repair and Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Start date: March 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

All Danish trainees in surgery in a two-year period asked for participation when enrolled in the formal five-year training program for specialty in surgery. The participants are randomized for either educational intervention or control (without intervention). The intervention group receive a skills-lab course in hernia repair followed by an opportunity to perform 20 groin hernia repairs in their departments within 4-8 weeks. Their performance will be video recorded three times during the intervention and as follow-up at end of the first year of training. After termination of the hernia training program a similar program for laparoscopic cholecystectomies are made. Each participant receive both intervention. The control group are video recorded at start of their first year and at end. All videos are blindly assessed with a validated rating scale of operative performance. The purpose is to assess if a fast-track program improves technical skills and if a change is sustained. Furthermore we want to compare outcome in similar training programs in open and laparoscopic skills.
