Popis: | OBJECTIVE: To determine whether veterinary students could train to a predefined proficiency level on a simulated intracorporeal laparoscopic suturing task. STUDY DESIGN: Single group preinterventional and postinterventional study. SAMPLE POPULATION: Ten veterinary students. METHODS: Ten veterinary students completed a questionnaire about prior experiences and watched a 7‐minute demonstration video prior to performing a laparoscopic intracorporeal suture task on a simulator. Participants were tested at pretraining and for a period of 8 weeks. Overall group improvement in scores and time to completion (seconds) from pretraining to final testing was analyzed by using a Wilcoxon matched‐pairs signed‐rank test. The same variables were compared among individuals with different background experiences (eg, video game experience) by using a Mann‐Whitney U test. The average number of repetitions to reach proficiency was recorded. RESULTS: All participants reached the predefined proficiency level on the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery intracorporeal suture task. The average number of repetitions required to reach proficiency was 18 ± 7, and there was significant improvement in both time to completion (seconds) and scores from pretraining to final testing (P = .005). The number of repetitions required to reach proficiency, pretraining times, final times, pretraining scores, and final scores did not differ among veterinary students with different background experiences. CONCLUSION: Veterinary students naive to laparoscopic surgery can learn the technical skills required to perform a simulated intracorporeal suture through repetitive, self‐directed practice on a laparoscopic box trainer regardless of prior experiences (eg, videogame experience, craft experience, chopstick use, etc). CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Simulation offers an adequate platform for the standardized training of laparoscopic skills in veterinary students and likely novice laparoscopic surgeons. |
