Optimizing modern surgical simulation through instructor feedback - insights from a retrospective observational study in a tertiary hospital.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Laparoscopic surgery is associated with a prolonged learning curve for emerging surgeons, and simulation-based training (SBT) has become increasingly prominent in this context due to stringent working time regulations and heightened concerns regarding patient safety. While SBT offers a safe and ethical learning environment, the accuracy of simulators in the context of evaluating surgical skills remains uncertain. This study aims to assess the precision of a laparoscopic simulator with regard to evaluating surgical performance and to identify the instructor's role in SBT.

Materials and methods

This retrospective study focused on surgical residents in their 1st through 5th years at the Department of Surgery of Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. The residents parti
