“…Developing the necessary eye-hand coordination before hands-on surgical practice may not only shorten the learning curve but also improve patient safety (2). By practicing in a simulation lab, residents can improve their psychomotor and cognitive skills in a riskfree setting (3)(4)(5)(6). The benefit of simulator-based training has been increasingly evident since total laparoscopy-assisted hysterectomy (TLH) & robot-assisted hysterectomy (RAH) cases accounted for more than 30% of the total hysterectomies in the United States (7).…”

Results:The average estimated blood loss before and after simulation-based training was significantly different in TAH and RAH groups (317±170 mL versus 257±146 mL, p=0.003 and 154±107 mL versus 102±88 mL, p=0.004, respectively), but no difference was found for TLH and VH. The mean of length of hospital stay was significantly different before and after simulation-based training for each technique: 3.7±2.3 versus 2.9±2.2 days for TAH, 2.0±1.2 versus 1.3±0.9 days for VH, 2.4±1.3 versus 1.9±2.5 days for TLH, and 2.0±1.3 versus 1.4±1.7 days for RAH (p<0.01). Conclusion:Based on our data, simulator-based training may play an integrative role in developing the residents' surgical skills and thus improving the surgical outcomes of hysterectomy.

“…In interdisciplinary and international comparison, too, the data situation shows that independent training, e.g. with simulators, has been proven to enhance effectiveness, technical expertise and technical skills [4,5]. Endoscopic training leads not only to higher satisfaction on the part of the junior doctors resulting from the improvement of their own skills, but also leads to shorter operation times and smoother surgical work flows [6,7].…”

Endoscopy is an integral part of surgical gynaecology and is playing an increasingly important role in ensuring adequate gynaecological training in the context of specialty training in general. At present, little is known about the expectations and notions of young junior doctors with respect to endoscopic training. For this reason, junior doctors throughout Germany were surveyed on this topic and asked to share their opinions. Methods: Using an anonymized standardized survey, the following information was elicited: importance of endoscopic training, willingness to take courses, expectations for instructors and the hospital, ideas about the number of required operations, both as a surgical assistant and as a surgeon, as well as satisfaction with the current status of training. The questionnaires were sent via the Young Forum (Junges Forum) of the German Society of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (DGGG) and the newsletter of the Working Group for Gynaecological Endoscopy (AGE). Results: The evaluation of the study was based on 109 completed questionnaires. The resident junior doctors were 31 years old on average and were in their third to fourth year of their specialty training on average. The majority of the participants (87%) considered the learning of endoscopic techniques to be very important and advocated regular participation in endoscopy training courses. Among the participants, 48% were prepared to invest up to €1500 of their own funds to attend courses up to twice a year during the entire specialty training period. The expectations of the instructors and institutions focused on technical expertise, the willingness and time for teaching and on the number and range of surgical procedures, followed by being granted leave for the courses and having costs covered for the courses. Thirty-eight per cent stated that their ex-

“…These advances, together with meeting the educational needs of surgical trainees in the current era continues to be confronted by such circumstances as the Working Time Directive already implement in Europe and USA. [20][21][22] These changes have resulted in a reduction in working hours, with consequently more shift-working and time-limited training; have necessitated that surgical education expand from the operating theatre to surgical skills labs and this would necessitate the need to deliver consistency of training, and teaching that suit the needs of the individual trainees. WBTV may offer a greater degree of benefit 0.00 1.00 2.00 3.00 4.00 5.00 which could assist uniformed surgical training.…”

Background: For generations, surgical training has followed the example of an apprenticeship model. However, many doctors see this training as insufficient and potentially unsafe for the patient. Web-based simulation training for teaching laparoscopic surgery is not only becoming increasingly popular but is cheaper in comparison to the traditional apprenticeship method. Objective is to assess the educational value of web-based training videosMethods: Data was obtained through questionnaires sent to consultant surgeons and surgical trainees at three sites in North Queensland. Study invited participants to complete a 24-item questionnaire on knowledge and attitudes. The questionnaires were distributed using online survey monkey software to send emails to the three Government Hospitals.Results: There was a response rate of 11.40%, Consultant surgeons (13/17; 72.20%) and surgical trainees (4/17; 22.20%). Majority of participant`s sources of learning laparoscopic surgery was from supervisors in operating theatre (64.30%) and online Web-based training video (WBTV; 7.10%), although satisfaction with current web-based training video resources was found to vary widely for a variety of reasons. WBTV were used mainly when required for clinical rotation.Conclusions: There was a response rate of 11.40%, Consultant surgeons (13/17; 72.20%) and surgical trainees (4/17; 22.20%).
