Three standardized laparoscopic drills have been tested in 150 trainees and demonstrate the incremental acquisition of skills that correlate with improved performance in a challenging and complex Laparoscopic surgical skill, intracorporeal suturing.
Academic MedicineValidation of an objective structured assessment of technical skill for surgical residents
358 Citations1996Hayley G. Faulkner, Glenn Regehr +2 more
Scores on the OSATS accurately reflect the independent opinions of faculty regarding the technical skills of senior residents, suggesting that it is a valid measure of technical skill for these individuals.
The American Journal of SurgeryReliability and construct validity of a Structured Technical Skills Assessment Form
257 Citations1994Christopher P. Winckel, Richard K. Reznick +2 more
The incorporation of structured guidelines to the assessment of technical skill leads to high inter-rater reliability and construct validity, which ultimately may result in improved and reproducible evaluations of surgical trainees.

107 Citations1996Daniel B. Jones, Jerome Brewer +1 more
It is suggested that first-generation 3-D video systems offer no significant advantage to the novice or expert surgeon performing laparoscopic procedures, and a larger sample size may support the trend favoring3-D for more complex maneuvers, such as suturing and knot-typing.
