Summary

This study aims to improve basic laparoscopic and thoracoscopic skills in thoracic surgery residents and rotating surgical residents through a structured simulation-based training program. Participants will complete hands-on practice sessions using box trainers, artificial models, and bovine tissues in a controlled, non-patient setting.

Before and after the training, participants will complete self-assessment surveys and a standardized technical skills evaluation (OSATS). The study will compare these results to measure changes in technical performance, confidence, and learning needs. No real patients, live animals, or clinical procedures are involved, and there are no expected medical risks.

The goal of this study is to determine whether structured simulation training is effective, practical, and acceptable for surgical education, and whether it can support safer transition to real operating room experience in the future.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Structured Simulation-Based Surgical Training

Participants will complete a structured simulation-based training curriculum designed to improve fundamental laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgical skills. The program includes standardized modules on camera navigation, tissue handling, dissection, stapling, and suturing, performed on box trainers, artificial models, and bovine tissues. Training occurs in a controlled laboratory environment with faculty supervision and predefined performance goals. No real patients, clinical procedures, or live animals are involved. All participants undergo pre- and post-training performance assessment using OSATS scoring, task completion time, and self-evaluation surveys.
