PurposeTo assess telementoring as a complementary tool for surgical training of a scleral fixation technique.DesignRandomized, controlled, two-arm, blinded clinical trial.MethodsUsing a 3D visualization system, 132 participants were randomized in order of enrollment into traditional face-to-face mentoring (n = 66) and telementoring (n = 66). A single surgeon mentored all participants in the 2 groups. The procedure was performed in a model suitable for training in intraocular lens fixation SimulEYE® (INSEYET, WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA, USA). In the telementoring group, the images captured on a local computer were sent to a second computer located in another room through a teleconferencing platform in real-time. Nine steps of the recorded procedure were evaluated and scored by two masked independent surgeons experienced in the technique.Main outcomes measuresThe primary outcomes evaluated were the global score (the sum of each score on the rubric), surgical failure, and surgical time (in seconds).ResultsSurgical success was achieved in 98.5% in the face-to-face group and in 95.5% in the telementoring group (p-value = 0.619). Minimal technical problems were reported in 8 procedures in the telementoring group (12%), without interfering with the surgical result, and completion of the procedure.ConclusionsTelementoring is an encouraging educational tool that can overcome geographical barriers to ease the transfer of abilities and knowledge. We lack evidence in terms of group differences for superiority comparing face-to-face and telementoring, in addition to presenting comparable results regarding surgical success and failure. More studies are needed to explore the impact of telementoring in other ophthalmological surgeries.Trial registrationThe Federal University of São Paulo institution's Research Ethics Committee reviewed and approved this study protocol (approval number, 5.383.484). |
