Surgical Residency Market Research-What Are Applicants Looking for?
Objectives: We propose that one of the integral parts of building a stronger residency program is the ability to recruit top applicants. Little is known about the factors applicants use to evaluate residency programs. Given that the top applicants are likely to be ranked highly by multiple programs, we sought to determine which factors applicants themselves used to evaluate potential residency programs.Design: An anonymous, voluntary survey was distributed to all interviewing applicants, asking them to rank 12 factors when choosing a residency. They were additionally asked about any prior research or international medical ...

Using the Mind as a Simulator: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Mental Training
Conclusion: The addition of mental training led to improved laparoscopic skills development. It is a flexible technique and has the potential to challenge VRS as a more cost-effective training method associated with lower capital investment. Given the benefits of mental training with further research, it could be considered for inclusion in training curricula.

Open Surgical Simulation—A Review
Abstract: Background: Surgical simulation has benefited from a surge in interest over the last decade as a result of the increasing need for a change in the traditional apprentice model of teaching surgery. However, despite the recent interest in surgical simulation as an adjunct to surgical training, most of the literature focuses on laparoscopic, endovascular, and endoscopic surgical simulation with very few studies scrutinizing open surgical simulation and its benefit to surgical trainees. The aim of this review is to summarize the current standard of available open surgical simulators and to review the literature on th...

Practice Schedules for Surgical Skills: The Role of Task Characteristics and Proactive Interference on Psychomotor Skills Acquisition
In this study, we examined the existence of PI in motor learning under 5 training conditions that differed in contrast to a target exercise.Design: Preclinical medical students (n = 75) performed 1 trial of peg transfer as a pretest. Participants were then randomly assigned to 1 of 5 training conditions: mass practice, similar exercise (laparoscopic bean transfer), dissimilar exercise (open suturing), observation, or rest. Participants in the mass practice condition practiced peg transfer in 3 training blocks of 15 minutes, each separated by a 5-minute break. Participants in the other conditions performed 3 training blocks...

Learning curve analysis of the first 100 robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomies performed by a single surgeon
We examined univariate associations and performed multivariable modeling with linear regression, and modeled the learning curve for total operative time using power-law function.Results: Mean age was 46years; mean body mass index was 27.8kg/m2. Median operative time was 120minutes; median estimated blood loss was 100mL. On multivariable analysis, case number (β –0.296; P

Face, Content, and Construct Validity of a Novel Portable Ergonomic Simulator for Basic Laparoscopic Skills
Objective: Laparoscopic skills can be improved effectively through laparoscopic simulation. The purpose of this study was to verify the face and content validity of a new portable Ergonomic Laparoscopic Skills simulator (Ergo-Lap simulator) and assess the construct validity of the Ergo-Lap simulator in 4 basic skills tasks.Design: Four tasks were evaluated: 2 different translocation exercises (a basic bimanual exercise and a challenging single-handed exercise), an exercise involving tissue manipulation under tension, and a needle-handling exercise. Task performance was analyzed according to speed and accuracy. The particip...

The impact of aptitude on the learning curve for laparoscopic suturing
Conclusions: Distinct learning curves for laparoscopic suturing can be mapped on the basis of fundamental ability. High aptitude is directly related to earlier completion of the learning curve. A proportion of subjects with low aptitude are unable to reach proficiency despite repeated attempts.

Do laparoscopic skills transfer to robotic surgery?
Conclusions: For simple tasks, participants with preexisting skills perform worse with the robot. However, with increasing task difficulty, robotic performance is equal or better than laparoscopy. Laparoscopic skills appear to readily transfer to a robotic platform, and difficult tasks such as IS are actually enhanced, even in subjects naive to the technology.

Effect of a Short Preclinical Laparoscopy Course for Interns in Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusions: Students are very interested in attending a preclinical laparoscopic training session. However, trained students did not display higher confidence or better clinical performance during internship. Even without previous training, students are fast to acquire the necessary skills during surgical internship.

Construct Validation of the Key Components of Fundamental Skills of Robotic Surgery (FSRS) Curriculum—A Multi-Institution Prospective Study
Background: Recent incorporation of simulation in surgical training necessitates developing validated platforms for training and assessment. A tool should fulfill the fundamental criteria of validation.Objective: To report the ability of a simulation-based robotic training curriculum—Fundamental Skills of Robotic Surgery (FSRS)—to assess and distinguish between different performance levels of operator experience (construct validity).Materials and Methods: This is a prospective multicenter observational study. Participants were classified as novice (0 robotic cases performed) and experts (>150 robotic cases performed). ...

Resident participation in laparoscopic hysterectomy: balancing education with safety
In our own experience as medical students in the 1990s, preparatory materials for a day in the operating room consisted of a surgical atlas, suture obtained from a well-meaning nurse, and, if you were fortunate, a needle driver or Kocher clamp. These tools used to learn anatomy and the basic skills of knot tying and proper instrument handling have since been augmented by realistic manikins, laparoscopic and robotic trainers with computer-generated simulation, and mock interviews with actors. The saying of practice makes perfect is imprecise.
