Randomized control crossover trial shows improved MIS skills acquisition in surgical trainees, indicating the simulator's effectiveness.
Our analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of this OA/TOF simulator in facilitating the acquisition and retention of MIS skills via self-directed learning. These findings support the integration of similar surgical simulators into current training programs to enhance MIS skill acquisition in a low-risk, accessible setting; particularly for those procedures where the complexity is high, but the frequency of cases is low.
