General surgery residents often feel unprepared to perform pediatric surgery procedures since case volume and experience may be low. Previously, we successfully implemented a simulation-based training (SBT) module for placement of a silastic silo for gastroschisis. Therefore, we designed a single institution pilot study to assess whether SBT for placement of a percutaneous peritoneal drain for perforated necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) was feasible and lead to skill acquisition and increased confidence. Our newly created NEC module within our pediatric surgery SBT curriculum for general surgery residents was used. Residents completed two simulation sessions three months apart with confidence testing before and after each session. Skill acquisition and performance were assessed using a standardized case scenario and procedure checklist. Changes in residents' confidence and performance were determined using Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Tests. Nine post-graduate-year three general surgery residents completed this curriculum. Following completion, residents reported improved confidence completing each step of the procedure initially (p=0.005) and at 3 months (p=0.008) with improved technical scores (p=0.011). The number of residents deemed proficient significantly improved (p=0.031). Implementation of SBT module for perforated NEC was feasible and improved residents' confidence and proficiency completing the procedure.
