“…Our students indicated that the online course could not replace a practical course with patient contact and indicated that they missed patient-centered learning, an elementary educational component that enhances students' understanding and awareness of the complexity of patient care [19,20]. In addition to bedside teaching, practical units on diverse topics (e.g., intrauterine devices, conization, laparoscopy, and obstetric ultrasound) with patient contact or realistic scenarios improve medical students' knowledge and understanding [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

Purpose The purpose of this survey was to assess medical students’ opinions about online learning programs and their preferences for specific teaching formats.MethodsBetween May and July 2020, medical students who took an online gynecology and obstetrics course were asked to fill in a questionnaire anonymously. The questionnaire solicited their opinions about the course, the teaching formats used (online lectures, video tutorials featuring real patient scenarios, and online practical skills training), and digital learning in general.Results Of 103 students, 98 (98 %) submitted questionnaires that were included in the analysis. Eighty-four (86 %) students had no problem with the online course and 70 (72 %) desired more online teaching in the future. Thirty-seven (38 %) respondents preferred online to traditional lectures. Seventy-two (74 %) students missed learning with real patients. All digital teaching formats received good and excellent ratings from >80 % of the students.ConclusionThe survey results reflect medical students’ broad acceptance of the online course and indicate that digital learning options can partially replace conventional face-to-face teaching. Especially for theoretical content, such as that taught via lectures, online teaching might be an alternative or complement to traditional education. In contrast, skill development and the application of practical knowledge still need a patient-centered structure.

“…This allowed numerous quick repetitions. The LEEP was performed with the monopolar power device ERBE Vio300D (Erbe Elektromedizin GmbH, Tübingen, Germany) with a loop electrode (Erbe Elektromedizin GmbH, Tübingen, Germany) under colposcopic view (Olympus OCS-500, Olympus Europe, Hamburg, Germany) as previously described (5).…”

“…Similarly for a cut that was too deep, that is greater than 10 mm, deviation from the desired maximum was recorded so that an 11 mm specimen would have a deviation of 1 mm. In order to account for both fragmentation and deviation together, a LEEP score was calculated as recently described (5).…”

Objective: Conisation of the cervix is one of the most common surgical procedures in gynaecology. Nevertheless, surgical expertise is required because if the cone is too small, the oncological risk increases and if the cone is too large, the obstetric risk increases. The aim of this prospective study was to investigate the suitability of an in-house conisation simulator for teaching medical students the practical performance of conisation. Material and Methods:Following a demonstration, students performed a loop conisation with a target depth of 8-10 mm using the simulator.Cone biopsy dimensions were analysed and a loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) score was calculated. The students were surveyed using a questionnaire of 12 items with five possible responses for each in order to investigate the suitability and realism of the teaching experience.Results: Eighty-nine students participated in the course. The median (range) cone depth was 8 (3-25) mm with a standard deviation of 3.3 mm.The observed LEEP score amounted to 1.5. The questionnaire was answered by 88 students and completed by 86. Survey results showed the course was consistently rated as positive, especially towards the increase in practical skills. The questionnaire item producing the highest score was "I enjoyed the course" while the statement "I have gained enough self-confidence for the application of high-frequency surgery" received the lowest approval score. Students considered the course to be realistic and a helpful teaching exercise. Conclusion:Practical surgery exercises on the surgical simulator were received positively. Simulation training could be extended to other gynaecological operations and to other medical subjects. (J Turk Ger Gynecol Assoc 2020; 21: 79-83)

“…Consequently, especially for patients with not yet completed family planning, a carefully and professionally performed resection is pivotal [19]. Whereas some surgical techniques can only be trained in the operation room, it is often possible to simulate some techniques so that model-training can be performed to improve the technique, thus enhancing patients' safety [20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. Unfortunately, in many cases sufficient training is hampered by the organizational effort required and a lack of personnel and time in everyday clinical practice.…”

Purpose Electrosurgery is the gold-standard procedure for the treatment of cervical dysplasia. The quality of the outcome depends on the accuracy of performance, which underlines the role of adequate training of surgeons, especially, as this procedure is often performed by novice surgeons. According to our knowledge, medical simulation has up until now lacked a model, which focuses on realistically simulating the treatment of cervical dysplasia with the concerning anatomy. Methods and result In our work, we present a model created using 3D printing for holistically simulating diagnostic, as well as surgical interventions of the cervix, as realistically as possible. Conclusion This novel simulator is compared to an existing model and both are evaluated. By doing so, we aim to provide novice gynecologists with standardized and high-quality simulation models for practicing to improve their proficiency.
