Assessment of the Transferability of Skills From Robotic to Laparoscopic Simulation Platforms in Surgical Skill Naive Participants
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating a laparoscopic simulator (Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS), VT Medical Inc, Waltham, MA) and Mimic da Vinci robotic simulator for Surgical Simulation Education. Completed, enrolled 40 participants.
Detailed Summary
This is a randomized controlled trial that will randomize 40 surgical skill naive medical students to practice on a robotic simulator or laparoscopic simulator after first completing a baseline evaluation on both surgical simulation platforms. Medical students will be evaluated again after 10 practice sessions on the laparoscopic or robotic platforms to assess transferability of skills between the surgical simulation platforms.
