Establishing validity evidence for device-assisted advanced laparoscopic suturing tasks using simulation

BackgroundLaparoscopic suturing (LS) is an essential technique required for a wide range of procedures, and it is one of the most challenging for surgical trainees to master. We designed and collected validity evidence for advanced LS tasks using an automated suturing device and evaluated the perceived educational value of the tasks. MethodsThis project was a multicentre prospective study involving McGill University, University of Toronto …
