To improve this, validated high quality robotic simulators need to be developed and made available. The RobotiX simulator is a new platform which this study sought to validate in the context of a recognised robotic surgery curriculum METHODS Surgeons(n=29) with ranging robotic experience and experience with other simulators(da Vinci Backpack and Mimic) were invited to complete all 6 FRS curriculum exercises. Participant performance was scored using the Global Evaluation Assessment of Robotic skills(GEARS). Participants completed a Likert scale based face and content validity questionnaire graded as negative(1-2/5), neutral(3), or positive(4-5) RESULTS Overall, analysis included 27 participants. There was good concurrent GEARS score reliability (Cronbach's Alpha 0.801) between participants performing exercises on both the RobotiX and an alternative robotic simulator. CONCLUSIONS The RobotiX simulator demonstrated excellent Face and Construct validity evidence both in terms of general usage and in the specific context of the FRS curriculum.(Table 2 Q1,2)The RobotiX performed at least as well as other simulators(da Vinci Backpack/Mimic) and was found to simulate a robotic platform such as the da Vinci Robot. (Table 2 Q4,5) Furthermore 81% of surgical trainees would recommend using the RobotiX(Table 2 Q3) © 2017FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 197Issue 4SApril 2017Page: e700-e701 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2017MetricsAuthor Information Ismail Omar More articles by this author James Dilley More articles by this author Philip Pucher More articles by this author Philip Pratt More articles by this author Torath Ameen More articles by this author Justin Vale More articles by this author Ara Darzi More articles by this author Erik Mayer More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Advertisement PDF downloadLoading ...
