Study Summary
Surgically naive premedical and medical students were trained on two different laparoscopic simulation trainers, then tested on the same vaginal cuff suturing model. Video recordings were collected from the vaginal cuff suturing tasks. These recordings were graded by expert gynecologic surgeons using a laparoscopic skills rubric. Their scores were compared to determine if one of the two laparoscopic trainers better prepared surgically naive students to complete a gynecologic surgical task.
Primary Outcome
Using a previously validated laparoscopic skills assessment tool (Global Operative Assessment of Laparoscopic Skills, or GOALS), two expert MIGS surgeons reviewed each video and scored it using a modified version of the GOALS tool. Each participant was ultimately given a GOALS composite score, which was made up of 8 individual skill domains (3 of which were added to make the scoring relevant and specific to the vaginal cuff suturing task). The GOALS scores serve to measure student surgical profi
