Brief summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the proper sequence of Pelvic trainer and VR simulator training in order to improve gynecological laparoscopic skills and assess training levels.
Detailed description
In this study, the investigators will determine the proper sequence of simulation training. Pelvic Trainer Versus Virtual reality Simulator in order to improve laparoscopic skills of residents with no or little previous laparoscopic experience. * This study will compare the proper sequence of simulation training. Pelvic Trainer Versus Virtual reality Simulator of two groups: Group A versus Group B. * Group A will start training on the pelvic trainer (training on educational intervention 1) and assessment will be via assessment via a checklist (test 1). Then at a later time, they will be trained on VR simulator (Sim Surgery) (educational intervention 2) and assessment will be via Electronic auto assessment via the Simulator (test 2). * Group B will start training on the VR simulator (Sim Surgery) (educational intervention 2) and assessment will be via Electronic auto assessment via the Simulator (test 2). Then at a later time, they will be trained on the pelvic trainer (training on educational intervention 1) and assessment will be via assessment via a checklist (test 1).
Interventions
LapSim is a device designed by Surgical Science Device & software at Swedan
DEVICEPelvic trainer:
Video-box trainers include a box with a lid and holes cut on the lid for the trocar's insertion. A laparoscope inside the box is connected with a digital camera and provides video output to a monitor on which the trainees are watching their own movements, while performing the teaching task. Laparoscopic instruments, such as laparoscopic graspers and laparoscopic scissors are inserted through the trocars into the box, where the tasks are taught
