Effects of Real Time Feedback on Novice's Laparoscopic Learning Curve
A prospective randomized controlled trial (RTC) was performed. Three groups were proposed: control, visual, and haptic. The block randomization technique was used to assign the participants to one of the three groups. Each group trained the intracorporeal square flat knot task in a standardized FLS box simulator. A total of 11 sessions were programmed for this study: a pre-training session, eight training sessions, a post-training session, and a follow-up session. Measurement of the generated reaction force during the task were taken weekly for the first 10 sessions (pre-training, training, and post-training); then, the follow-up measurement was taken a month after.
