TL;DR
Surgical training could be carried out effectively with only knowledge of results, and the overall workload of a trainee during training would decrease as skills improved, especially when KR and coaching were provided.
Abstract
Surgical training could be carried out effectively with only knowledge of results. These results have implications for the staffing of surgical skills laboratories.

The American Journal of SurgeryThe financial impact of teaching surgical residents in the operating room
801 Citations1999Matthew Bridges, Daniel L. Diamond
The annual cost of training surgical residents in the operating room is $53 million, which suggests the need for digital skills, selection criteria, the development of training curriculum and resource facilities, the pre-operating room need for suturing and stapling techniques, and perhaps the acquisition of virtual surgery training modules.
Journal of the American College of SurgeonsLaparoscopic training on bench models: better and more cost effective than operating room experience?1
735 Citations2000Daniel J. Scott, Patricia C. Bergen +8 more
Intense training improves video-eye-hand skills and translates into improved operative performance for junior surgery residents, and surgical curricula should contain laparoscopic skills training.
Surgical EndoscopyPerforming laparoscopic surgery is significantly more stressful for the surgeon than open surgery
317 Citations2001Ramón Berguer, Warren D. Smith +1 more
VES technique requires greater concentration and places greater mental stress on surgeons than to open surgery, and more experience with VES may decrease this effect.
Surgical EndoscopyThe learning curve for a colonoscopy simulator in the absence of any feedback: No feedback, no learning
194 Citations2004Tariq Mahmood, Ara Darzi
This study demonstrates that in the absence of feedback, it is not possible to improve performance on the HT Immersion Medical Colonoscopy Simulator, and there is no learning curve for the machine.

While Laparoscopic appendectomy is associated with statistically significant but clinically questionable advantages over open appendectomy, a laparoscopic approach is relatively less expensive.

The contribution of the measurement procedure per se to the between-days variability, i.e., the imprecision of the method, was small: less than 2 degrees for angles and 3% for angular velocity.
The American Journal of SurgeryThe impact of external feedback on computer-assisted learning for surgical technical skill training

The higher posttest performance score for the group receiving feedback demonstrates that external feedback results in a higher level of mastery when CAL is used to teach surgical technical skills.

There remain, however, several outstanding issues that need to be addressed, mainly quality assurance, training, resource allocation, assessment of competence and tiers of laparoscopic surgical practice in line with the changing situation facing the next generation of surgeons.
Surgical EndoscopyThe effect of laparoscopic instrument working angle on surgeons’ upper extremity workload
84 Citations2001Ramón Berguer, D. L. Forkey +1 more
It is suggested that working with laparoscopic instruments at a horizontal angle of >45° to the surgeon’s sagital plane significantly increases the workload of the flexor digitorium superficialis and deltoid muscles.

Experts in MIS identified core procedures for MIS training and consistently voiced the opinion that to become competent, residents need to perform these procedures many more times than the RRC data indicate they currently do.
