Laparoscopic Training With and Without Robotic Assistance for Surgical Internes: a Randomized Study

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Surgical Training

• Registration Number: NCT02888158
• Lead Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to compare two groups of gynecologic/urologic/visceral internes in terms of the time required to perform a laparoscopic surgical intervention (nephrectomy) on an animal model (pig).

The two groups of internes differ by the type of training they received: (1) Pelvic-Trainer training with robotic assistance versus (2) Pelvic-Trainer training without robotic assistance.
