Brief summary
This study aims to evaluate the influence of perceived peer performance on the clinical skill of trocar placement during laparoscopic cholecystectomy among surgeons and surgical residents. It investigates whether exposure to incorrect trocar placements by peers affects the accuracy of subsequent placements.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALincorrect trocar placement marks.
Participants in the experimental group will perform trocar placements on laparoscopic models that have been pre-marked with incorrect insertion sites by previous participants. These marks simulate procedural steps or anatomical landmarks that are intentionally incorrect.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| accuracy of the trocar placements | 1 week | The participant must define in a graphic format the site where the trocars would be placed to perform a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The number of trocars correctly placed will be recorded. A rate of will be calculated: Trocars in the correct place/Total number of trocars. |
