- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of training with a personal, portable laparoscopic endo-trainer (PLET) on residents' laparoscopic skills. All participants were randomised to either a home- or hospital-based PLET training group and surgical skill performance was assessed using five laparoscopic exercises. Endpoints consisted ofsubjective and objective assessment ratings as well as exercise time and qualitative data up to 12 weeks. The primary outcome was the difference in exercise time and secondary outcomes included performance scores as well as qualitative data.
