Assessing the Importance of Surgeon Hand Anthropometry on the Design of Medical Devices
Improperly designed medical devices can induce unwanted biomechanical stressors on their users, impacting health and career longevity. Despite this, manufacturers struggle to balance device design with the growing female surgeon population. We have applied anthropometry to a population of surgeon hands as an alternative to preferred glove size. Correlations to physical dimensions of two laparoscopic staplers were assessed. Five anthropometric measurements were taken from dominant hands of surgeons. These measurements were selected with the goal of comparing resulting data to published anthropometry studies and assessing co...

Simulation Training in Surgical Education
AbstractPurpose of ReviewOur review aims to describe the use of simulation-based training throughout the continuum of surgical education.Recent FindingsIn addition to well-known procedural-based surgical simulation modalities like the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery and Fundamentals of Endoscopic Surgery, there are several novel uses of simulation including its use for preparing medical students for surgical residency, resident interviews and onboarding, residency training, mental skills training, and continuing education for practicing surgeons.SummarySimulation is a cost effective and useful method to improve traine...

Viewer discretion advised: is YouTube a friend or foe in surgical education?
ConclusionsTop ranked laparoscopic cholecystectomy videos on YouTube show suboptimal technique with half of videos demonstrating concerning maneuvers and only one in ten having an adequate critical view of safety. While observing operative videos can be an important learning tool, surgical educators should be aware of the low quality of popular videos on YouTube. Dissemination of high-quality content on video sharing platforms should be a priority for surgical societies.

Pre- and postsurgical medical therapy for endometriosis surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that the data about the efficacy of medical therapy for endometriosis are inconclusive, related to the timing of hormonal suppression therapy relative to surgery for endometriosis. In our various comparisons of the timing of hormonal suppression therapy, women who receive postsurgical medical therapy compared with no medical therapy or placebo may experience benefit in terms of disease recurrence and pregnancy. There is insufficient evidence regarding hormonal suppression therapy at other time points in relation to surgery for women with endometriosis.

Formal education of patients about to undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
CONCLUSIONS: Due to the very low quality of the current evidence, the effects of formal patient education provided in addition to the standard information provided by doctors to patients compared with standard care remain uncertain. Further well-designed randomised clinical trials of low risk of bias are necessary.

How Virtual Reality Is Expanding Health Care
Clinicians can help patients recover from strokes while they’re anywhere in the world—even states or countries far away from each other—by using a combination of robotics and virtual-reality devices.
It’s happening at Georgia Institute of Technology, where Nick Housley runs the Sensorimotor Integration Lab. There, patients undergoing neurorehabilitation, including those recovering from a stroke, are outfitted with robotic devices called Motus, which are strapped to their arms and legs. The goal: to speed up recovery and assist with rehabilitation exercises. Patients and practitioners using the syste...

Simulation‐based training for prostate surgery
ConclusionsA wide range of different simulators are available for prostate surgery including synthetic bench models, virtual‐reality platforms, animal models, human cadavers, distributed simulation and advanced training programmes and modules. The currently validated simulators may be used by healthcare organisations to provide supplementary training sessions for trainee surgeons. Further research should be conducted to validate simulated environments, determine which simulators have greater efficacy than others, assess the cost effectiveness of the simulators and the transferability of skills learnt. However, with surge...

Living with Mesothelioma: A New Normal
In December of 2007, Timonium resident Jen Blair was pregnant with her second son, Kevin. It was a “very painful pregnancy.” She went to a few doctors, who told her the pain was normal. The pain returned, “worse than ever,” six weeks after giving birth to Kevin. More doctors. More tests. She was first told she needed laparoscopic surgery, then that she had stage 4 cancer in her abdomen. She was told to get her affairs in order.
It turns out Jen had peritoneal (in the abdomen) mesothelioma, in which cancer cells are found in the membranes around organs in the abdomen. This is very rare — only about 350-500 c...

Reading Level of Online Patient Education Materials From Major Obstetrics and Gynecology Societies.
CONCLUSION: Online patient education materials provided by major obstetrics and gynecology societies do not currently adhere to recommended readability guidelines. Continued efforts to provide accessible and informative patient education materials is recommended to help improve health literacy for women.

Google searches and medical publication trends since the 2014 US Food and Drug Administration position on power morcellation: Do these translate into patient awareness?
ConclusionOur study suggests that interest in uterine fibroids has increased since the FDA statement, but the public are perhaps unaware or not concerned of the consequent potential risk of leiomyosarcoma following morcellation. Countries where fibroid interest is highest are not necessarily those that can offer power morcellation. Further studies are required to address how the Internet influences patient choice and informed consent, and how medical professionals can use it to further educate patients on the risks and benefits of laparoscopic myomectomy and power morcellation.

Review of automated performance metrics to assess surgical technical skills in robot-assisted laparoscopy
ConclusionsAPMs constitute an objective approach for assessing technical skills. Evidence of associations between APMs and clinical outcomes remain to be confirmed by further studies, particularly, for non-urological procedures. Concurrent validation is also required.

Board #114 - Research Abstract Checklists or Global Ratings for Simulation-Based Assessments: A Systematic Review (Submission #7977)
ConclusionWe found high GRS-CL correlations explaining on average 58% of the variance in scores, although this could be due, in part, to the same rater completing both scales. Inter-rater reliabilities for both GRS and CL were high and similar, while inter-item and inter-station reliabilities favored GRS. Content validity evidence was commonly reported but the processes of tool development for GRS and CL appear to be quite different.While our findings are supportive of GRS and CL as useful formats, they do not necessarily generalize to all GRS or all CL. New GRS and CL, and applications of old instruments in new contexts, ...
