Laparoscopic skills training is essential and has been correlated with intraoperative performance. There are a number of training curricula developed to shorten the laparoscopic learning curve. Laparoscopic suturing is an advanced technique of laparoscopic skills that requires high level of hand-eye coordination. After obtaining basic laparoscopic skills, the trainees traditionally progress to learn intracorporeal suturing by serially repeating the multiple steps required to complete laparoscopic suture. It has been advocated that teaching of complex laparoscopic task should be divided into necessary steps. Therefore, the steps of intracorporeal suturing can be broken down into discrete blocks, such as needle pick up, passing needle, and forming a knot. The learner is to repetitively practice one step in one block to master the required skill before moving on to the next block. This form of blocked practice has been recognized effective and efficient for motor skill acquisition. We established stepwise training program for laparoscopic intracorporeal suturing based on the concept of blocked practice for the medical students and surgical trainees in our institution. It is our hypothesis that the stepwise program will improve laparoscopic suturing techniques of the participants. The purpose of this study is to assess the learning outcomes of laparoscopic suturing learning outcomes after our novel stepwise training program.

Primary | laparoscopic suturing competency assessment tool | All the tests were video recorded. The videos were processed with de-identification and random coding, and then reviewed independently by two expert surgeons (HC & CW) who were blinded to the identity of the test-taker. A previously validated tool, laparoscopic suturing competency assessment tool (LS-CAT), was used to evaluate the videos. LS-CAT is composed of four domains, "pick up needle", "pass needle through edges", "create first double wind", and "knot tying". A low score in LS-CAT represented a high level of skill set with a score of 8 indicating the best performance. Suturing time was measured. | 6 months |
