Summary

In the last decades, caesarean section (CS) rates are getting higher in all over the world.

This encourages us to improve operative techniques. In January 2018, investigators have introduced in the study unit: The French Ambulatory C section (FAUCS). This innovative approach appeares to provide a shorter recovery time, with a hospital discharge the day after surgery in 90% and then a better experience of childbirth.

The diffusion of this technique requires its integration to the curriculum of residency.

In this study, investigators will determine the mean number of procedures needed for trainees to master FAUCS.

Conditions

  • Caesarean
  • Training

Interventions

PROCEDURE

training for french ambulatory caesarean section

The participant will be first invited to consult a theoretical support and a video treating on FAUCS. After that, he will be asked to be the first assistant, in a FAUCS procedure with one of the two senior surgeons assigned for the study. In a second step, the trainee will have to perform all the steps of the FAUCS, assisted by one of the two senior surgeons . During each surgery, Operative time will be measured, while an evaluation on four stages according to the Zwisch model of supervision will performed by the senior surgeons . Once, the two seniors agree on the highest level assessment for the resident, he will be allowed to operate alone FAUCS procedures and will be evaluated by the measurement of operating times, the neonatal outcomes and the occurrence or not of complications. finally, total number of FAUCS procedures required for each resident in order to master the technique will be determined.
