Detecting the Most Efficient Residency Time for Laparoscopic Simulators

Determination of the Most Efficacious Period for the Use of Laparoscopic Simulators in Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialty Training

Laparoscopic surgeries is one of the most common surgery in gynecologic procedures. Nowadays there are many laparoscopic simulators for training residents. In this study it is aimed to determine the most efficient residency year for laparoscopic simulators.

This study planned as a prospective study. There will be three group which include ob/gyn residents. The residents will choose based on their residency year and surgery skills. 1. The residents who makes surgeries both laparoscopic and laparotomic, 2. The residents who makes surgeries only laparotomic, 3. The residents who won't any gynecologic surgery The data of surgery time, complications and movement numbers will take from the simulator. Tubal ligation and salpingooferectomy choose for the surgery examples. The simulation results of participants will compare and try to find the best improvement term for residency.
