Reliability testing of a modified MISTELS score using a low-cost trainer box.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Training programs such as the fundamentals of laparoscopic surgery (FLS) that are based on simulation are being currently used in several western countries. FLS allows skill acquisition and evaluation of competency in laparoscopic surgery. On the practical side, evaluation is determined by the MISTELS metrics (MISTELS is the acronym for the McGill inanimate system for training and evaluation of laparoscopic skills). This training program may be modified so that it can be implemented in countries with limited resources using a low-cost trainer box. Would the use of a low-cost trainer box alter the reliability of the MISTELS score?

Objective of study

The aim of the study was to evaluate the reliability of a modified MISTELS using a low-cost trainer box.
