Conditions

  • Hernia

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Online Video Curriculum

A video curriculum has been designed for the purpose of educating general surgery residents in laparoscopic hernia repairs. The curriculum covers topics from basic anatomy, selection of patients, management, and operative technique.

BEHAVIORAL

Whole Task Mastery Training

Trainees will undergo whole task mastery training in the TEP simulator. The benchmarks for mastery training in the setting of whole task tep repairs was established with performance measures of multiple staff surgeons previously.

BEHAVIORAL

Part Task Mastery Training

Trainees will undergo part task mastery training in the TEP simulator. The benchmarks for mastery training in the setting of part task tep repairs was established with performance measures of multiple staff surgeons previously.
