“…Each examination candidate was marked for both procedures by two examiners using a modified global rating scale for surgical skill. 12,13 This scale assessed eight components of generic surgical skill including suture, instrument and tissue handling as well as the flow of the operation and knowledge of the procedure on a 5-point Likert scale. The scale had descriptive comments at positions one, three and five representing a poor, competent and excellent performance, respectively.…”

Ann R Coll Surg Engl 2008; 90: 286-290 286The ability to assess one's own performance critically in surgery is a valuable trait for surgeons throughout training and independent practice. Unfortunately, this remains an underdeveloped skill in surgical training and receives little attention from surgical educators. For trainees, it allows identification of their strengths and, more importantly, weaknesses in their ability, to build upon previous performance and take the necessary remedial action. For surgeons in independent practice, the introduction of new surgical techniques necessitates focused self-assessment.Evidence for self-assessment in surgery is poor, compared self, peer and supervisor ratings with scores on the American Board of Surgery InTraining Examination (ABSITE). The results showed significant correlation between ratings by peers and supervisors (r = 0.92; P < 0.001). The average of peer and supervisor ratings showed a moderate correlation with ABSITE scores (r = 0.58; P < 0.01). Multivariate analysis suggested that supervisors were influenced mainly by the interpersonal skill of the resident and secondarily by their ability. Self-assessment was influenced mainly by the residents' perceptions of their own ability, followed by interpersonal skills and effort.

“…This criterion established SATISFACTION parameter to our research. Surgical skills estimated by the scale of objective structured assessment of technical skills (OSATS) [7][8][9] in students, had six variables evaluated with values from one to five, setting 2.6 as a parameter of "satisfaction" for each variable, adding a total of 30 points, regarded as "satisfactory" all score above 16 points (Table 1).…”

Purpose: To investigate a method for development of surgical skills in medical students simulating venous dissection in surgical ex vivo pig model. Methods: Prospective, analytical, experimental, controlled study with four stages: selection, theoretical teaching, training and assessment. Sample of 312 students was divided into two groups: Group A -2nd semester students; Group B -students of 8th semester. The groups were divided into five groups of 12 students, trained two hours per week in the semester. They set up four models to three students in each skill station assisted by a monitor. Teaching protocol emergency procedures training were applied to venous dissection, test goal-discursive and OSATS scale. Results:The pre-test confirmed that the methodology has not been previously applied to the students. The averages obtained in the theoretical evaluation reached satisfactory parameters in both groups. The results of applying OSATS scale showed the best performance in group A compared to group B, however, both groups had satisfactory medium. Conclusion: The method was enough to raise a satisfactory level of skill both groups in venous dissection running on surgical swine ex vivo models.

“…First the evaluator did a quantitative analysis using the time that the participant took to perform each anastomosis. In a second moment, a blind surgeon, through the analysis of the videos related to the exercises performed, evaluated the technical skill in making the anastomoses based on the global evaluation scale of the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) evaluation 14 .…”

Purpose: To develop a model of gastroenterostomy and to analyze the acquisition of skills after training by simulation. Methods: Experimental longitudinal study and of a quantitative character. The sample consisted of twelve general surgery residents from four hospitals. The training consisted of making ten anastomoses divided equally into five sessions and it took place over a period of six weeks. The evaluation of the anastomoses considered the time and the analysis of the operative technique through the global evaluation scale Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS). Results: Residents showed a reduction in operative time and evolution in the surgical technique statistically significant (p<0.01). The correlation index of 0.545 and 0.497 showed a high linear correlation between time variables and OSATS. Conclusion: The preparation of ten gastroenterostomies is an exercise capable of transferring basic and advanced skills in laparoscopy through a standardized training using synthetic organs and a simulator.
