Abstract

To compare the efficacy of simulation-based training (MIMIC dV Trainer) with that of traditional training. Initially we established proficiency standards for four MIMIC dV-Trainer tasks and three robotic dry lab tasks based on mean performance scores for experienced robotic surgeons. We then conducted an external validation experiment comparing transfer of robotic surgical skills acquired using the MIMIC dV-Trainer to skills acquired using Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) dry lab tasks performed on the da Vinci Surgical System.
