In medical education, the increasing interest in direct performance assessment has encouraged the development of a wide range of reliable and reproducible assessment methods. The assessment of surgical competency in the light of reduced training time is becoming even more important. It therefore needs to be a professional priority as well as being based on patient safety and political necessities.

A valid, sensitive and reliable system is essential to measure surgical skills. This could be introduced easily and could evaluate the trainee throughout his or her training period.
