Characteristics of laparoscopic and open hernia repair simulation models: a systematic review

ConclusionFew models individually were able to demonstrate validity and educational impact. Several novel assessment tools have been developed for assessment of progress when performing simulated and real laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. More study is required, particularly for open hernia repair, including randomized controlled trials with large sample sizes to assess the transferability of skills.
