Their knowledge on surgical procedure was assessed through a questionnaire prepared regarding the steps of laparoscopic cholecystectomy before and after exposure to TS. Study Variable was the scores to a questionnaire before and after exposure to the surgical simulation.Results: Mean pre-practice score was 25.85 ± 11.05 and mean post practice score was 80 ± 10.62 (p |
