LABORATORY BASED TRAINING IN UROLOGICAL MICROSURGERY WITH BENCH MODEL SIMULATORS: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL EVALUATING THE DURABILITY OF TECHNICAL SKILL
Abstract
PURPOSE: We evaluated the durability of laboratory based technical skills training in urological microsurgery using bench model simulators.
METHODS AND MATERIALS: A total of 50 junior surgery residents (post-graduate years 1 to 3) were recruited to participate in a focused training program in urological microsurgery. Prior to training subjects were randomized to receive hands-on training with bench model simulators (silicone tubing or live rat …
