Journal ArticleDOI
Framework for Systematic Training and Assessment of Technical Skills
TL;DR: Although there is a transfer of skills to the trainee, urrent training programs have not been designed from background of scientific research to ensure the curriclum is valid, efficient, and competency based.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deliberate Practice on a Virtual Reality Laparoscopic Simulator Enhances the Quality of Surgical Technical Skills
Patrice Crochet,Rajesh Aggarwal,Sukhpreet Dubb,Paul Ziprin,Niroshini Rajaretnam,Teodor P. Grantcharov,K. Anders Ericsson,Ara Darzi +7 more
TL;DR: VR training improved dexterity for both groups, and led to transfer of skill onto a porcine LC model, and achieved higher quality, and demonstrated superior transfer onto real tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crowd-Sourced Assessment of Technical Skills: a novel method to evaluate surgical performance
Carolyn Chen,Lee W. White,Timothy M. Kowalewski,Rajesh Aggarwal,Chris Lintott,Bryan A. Comstock,Katie Kuksenok,Cecilia Aragon,Daniel Holst,Thomas S. Lendvay +9 more
TL;DR: For a robotic suturing performance, it is shown that surgery-naive crowdworkers can rapidly assess skill equivalent to experienced faculty surgeons using Crowd-Sourced Assessment of Technical Skill.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress impairs psychomotor performance in novice laparoscopic surgeons
TL;DR: This is the first study to demonstrate through direct correlation that stress impairs surgical performance on a simulator and training in managing stress may be required to minimize these deleterious consequences and improve patient care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self vs expert assessment of technical and non-technical skills in high fidelity simulation.
Sonal Arora,Danilo Miskovic,Louise Hull,Krishna Moorthy,Rajesh Aggarwal,Helgi Johannsson,Sanjay Gautama,Roger Kneebone,Nick Sevdalis +8 more
TL;DR: Surgeons can accurately self-assess their technical skills in virtual reality LC and formal assessment with faculty members' input is required for nontechnical skills, for which surgeons lack insight into their behaviours.
