The use of deliberate practice in simulation-based surgical training for laparoscopic surgery - a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) has necessitated specialized training beyond traditional open surgical methods. Simulation-Based Surgical Training (SBST) offers a promising alternative, but its instructional design varies significantly. Deliberate Practice (DP), a concept originating from expertise research, may enhance SBST effectiveness. This systematic review evaluates the integration of DP within SBST for MIS.

Methods

A systematic literature search was conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, ERIC, and Google Scholar, covering publications up to January 31, 2024. Randomized controlled trials and observational studies implementing DP in SBST for laparoscopic surgery were included. Data extraction focused on DP elements (task design, feedback, and repetition),
