- Abstract
The steep learning curve associated with learning laparoscopic techniques and limited training opportunities represents a challenge to general surgery resident training. The objective of this study was to use a live porcine model to improve surgical training in laparoscopic technique and management of bleeding. Nineteen general surgery residents (ranging from PGY 3 to 5) completed the porcine simulation and completed pre-lab and post-lab questionnaires. The institution's industry partner served as sponsors and educators on hemostatic agents and energy devices. Residents had a significant increase in confidence with laparoscopic techniques and the management of hemostasis (P =.01 and P =.008, respectively). Residents agreed and then strongly agreed that a porcine model was suitable to simulate laparoscopic and hemostatic techniques, but there was no significant change between pre- and post-lab opinions. This study demonstrates that a porcine lab is an effective model for surgical resident education and increases resident confidence.
