Low-cost laparoscopic simulator – viable way of enabling access to basic laparoscopic training for medical students?
Background
Commercial laparoscopic simulators are costly and with limited accessibility. For this reason, medical students very often do not have an easy access to laparoscopic training important for their practical skills development.
Patients and methods
Using materials available at a standard hardware store we managed to construct a laparoscopic training box with four eye-hand coordination modules that could substitute commercial solutions. In this work we provide a detailed instructions on creating such a training box. Moreover, to evaluate the functionality of our simulator we conducted a survey of students who were provided training using commercial box trainer and our homemade box trainer.
Results
Students considered our homemade laparoscopic training box to be of comparable quality to the commercial solution. All of the surveyed students considered training using a low cost laparoscopic training box to be a positive experience.
Conclusions
Our homemade low cost laparoscopic simulator is relatively easy to construct and was deemed noninferior to the commercial laparoscopic simulator by surveyed students. Such type of laparoscopic simulators could enhance access to laparoscopic training for medical students.
期刊介绍:
Since its establishment in 2003, The Surgeon has established itself as one of the leading multidisciplinary surgical titles, both in print and online. The Surgeon is published for the worldwide surgical and dental communities. The goal of the Journal is to achieve wider national and international recognition, through a commitment to excellence in original research. In addition, both Colleges see the Journal as an important educational service, and consequently there is a particular focus on post-graduate development. Much of our educational role will continue to be achieved through publishing expanded review articles by leaders in their field.
Articles in related areas to surgery and dentistry, such as healthcare management and education, are also welcomed. We aim to educate, entertain, give insight into new surgical techniques and technology, and provide a forum for debate and discussion.
