Effectiveness of Low Cost Laparoscopic Training Box to Increase Laparoscopic Skills in Urology Training Center Universitas Padjadjaran/Hasan Sadikin General Hospital
Laparoscopy has become the
standard of care in many urological procedures. Various simulations are used to
train laparoscopic skills. This study evaluates the effectiveness of our low
cost laparoscopic training box simulation to improve urologic laparoscopic
skills. The study was conducted during Urology Laparoscopic Surgery Training
Course in the department of Urology Universitas Padjadjaran/Hasan Sadikin
General Hospital in year 2016. Eight practicing urologists with mean age 40.2
completed the study. Lecture and video presentation were presented to all
participants before box training. Pre-
training participants were evaluated for two basic
laparoscopic tasks using
a global rating scale and a task specific checklist. Participants then were
trained under instructor supervision and then evaluated using the same global
rating scale and specific task list. Participants performed nephrectomy on the
second day on a live animal (pigs) and evaluated. Wilcoxon matched paired signed-rank test was used to analyze pre- and
post-training
score results. There are statistically significant improvements in global rating scale
and task specific checklist for both tasks (P< 0.05).
All participants
successfully performed nephrectomy on the pigs that reflects low cost laparoscopic
training box simulation is effective to improve urologic laparoscopic skills.
