“…Developing the necessary eye-hand coordination before hands-on surgical practice may not only shorten the learning curve but also improve patient safety (2). By practicing in a simulation lab, residents can improve their psychomotor and cognitive skills in a riskfree setting (3)(4)(5)(6). The benefit of simulator-based training has been increasingly evident since total laparoscopy-assisted hysterectomy (TLH) & robot-assisted hysterectomy (RAH) cases accounted for more than 30% of the total hysterectomies in the United States (7).…”

Results:The average estimated blood loss before and after simulation-based training was significantly different in TAH and RAH groups (317±170 mL versus 257±146 mL, p=0.003 and 154±107 mL versus 102±88 mL, p=0.004, respectively), but no difference was found for TLH and VH. The mean of length of hospital stay was significantly different before and after simulation-based training for each technique: 3.7±2.3 versus 2.9±2.2 days for TAH, 2.0±1.2 versus 1.3±0.9 days for VH, 2.4±1.3 versus 1.9±2.5 days for TLH, and 2.0±1.3 versus 1.4±1.7 days for RAH (p<0.01). Conclusion:Based on our data, simulator-based training may play an integrative role in developing the residents' surgical skills and thus improving the surgical outcomes of hysterectomy.

“…The construct validity was best with the total score. This group later repeated this study in a blinded fashion with seven stations, and found similar results for construct validity and reliability [11]. One examiner of an examiner pair for each resident did not know the resident.…”

“…The OSATS has been used in trials monitoring learning curves of gynecology residents, but has not been used previously to determine competence in established surgeons and in an implementation strategy [11,22,31]. We choose this instrument to use a quality (competence score) rather than a quantity (certain number) control because the level of experience among the gynecologists differed, although all surgeons had experience in at least level 2 laparoscopy.…”
