Abstract

Background

Laparoscopic surgery has become the gold standard for many operations with significant benefits in morbidity and hospital recovery time. One such procedure is appendicectomy, which is overwhelmingly performed using the laparoscopic approach in the modern era. This has also meant that the number of cases involving traditional open appendicectomy has declined despite surgeons being expected to be able to convert to the open technique if required. One method to rehearse for theatre is the use of software applications. This paper investigates the validity of Touch Surgery™ as an education tool for surgical decision-making for novices, as well as its training effect in open appendicectomy.

Method

70 participants will be recruited, consisting of 60 medical students (novices) and 10 surgical consultants (experts). For face, content, and construct validity, first attempt scores on the Touch Surgery™ Open Appendicectomy Test Module will be compared between novices and experts. For the training effect and knowledge decline elements of the study, novices will be further randomised into either the low intervention (control) group who will complete the simulation once, or to the high intervention group who will complete the simulation six times, with both novice groups asked to repeat the test one week later. All participants will also be requested to complete questionnaires regarding the stimulation.

touch surgery™作为开放性阑尾切除术新手手术决策培训课程的内容、内容、结构效度及培训效果

腹腔镜手术已成为许多手术的金标准，在发病率和住院恢复时间方面具有显著的优势。其中一种手术是阑尾切除术，在现代，这种手术绝大多数采用腹腔镜方法。这也意味着传统的开放式阑尾切除术的病例数量已经下降，尽管外科医生被期望能够在需要时转换为开放式技术。为戏剧排练的一种方法是使用软件应用程序。本文探讨Touch Surgery™作为新手手术决策教育工具的有效性，以及其在阑尾开腹切除术中的培训效果。方法招募70名参与者，包括60名医学生(新手)和10名外科顾问(专家)。对于面部、内容和结构效度，将比较新手和专家在Touch Surgery™开放式阑尾切除术测试模块上的第一次尝试分数。为了研究的训练效果和知识下降因素，新手将进一步随机分为低干预(对照)组，他们将完成一次模拟，或高干预组，他们将完成六次模拟，两组新手都被要求在一周后重复测试。所有参与者还将被要求完成关于刺激的问卷调查。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
