Acquired skills with laparoscopic simulators in gynaecological laparoscopic surgery training programs: A review of reviews
2019, Educacion Medica
La cirugía laparoscópica ginecológica demanda un entrenamiento en simuladores para desarrollar habilidades diferentes a la cirugía convencional. No hay un acuerdo sobre las competencias estándar que debe obtener un aprendiz en un simulador de laparoscopia.
Identificar las competencias en cirugía laparoscópica ginecológica que se pueden adquirir con entrenamientos simulados y los tipos de simuladores que permiten hacerlo.
Se realizó una revisión de revisiones en MEDLINE, EMBASE, ERIC y publicaciones oficiales de instituciones en cirugía endoscópica. Los criterios de inclusión fueron artículos relacionados con habilidades y simulación en laparoscopia realizada por ginecólogos graduados o en formación.
Se seleccionaron 12 revisiones sistemáticas, donde se evidenciaron 11 tareas, 7 habilidades y 5 procedimientos que se pueden practicar en los simuladores. Los simuladores encontrados se dividieron en simuladores de realidad virtual, videosimuladores y cajas de entrenamiento. La heterogeneidad de los estudios no permitió agrupar estos hallazgos en un metaanálisis. Se listan los métodos para evaluar la transferencia de las habilidades adquiridas.
El entrenamiento simulado en laparoscopia permite desarrollar varias competencias quirúrgicas. Su práctica en los simuladores es medible con parámetros objetivos para evaluar la transferencia de las competencias a la cirugía real, con posibles beneficios para el paciente.
Gynaecological laparoscopic surgery demands training in simulators to develop skills different from conventional surgery. There is no agreement on proficiency standards that a trainee must obtain in a laparoscopy simulator.
To identify the competences in gynaecological laparoscopic surgery that can be acquired with simulated training and the types of simulators that allow this to be done.
A review of reviews was carried out in MEDLINE, EMBASE, ERIC and official publications of institutions in endoscopic surgery. Inclusion criteria were articles related to laparoscopic skills and simulation made by graduate gynaecologists or in training.
A total of 12 systematic reviews were selected in which there was evidence of 11 tasks, 7 skills, and 5 procedures that could be practiced on the simulators. The simulators found were divided in virtual reality simulators, video simulators, and box trainers. The heterogeneity of the studies did not allow these findings to be grouped in a meta-analysis. The methods for evaluating the transfer of acquired skills are listed.
Simulated training in laparoscopy allows several surgical skills to be developed. Their practice in simulators is measurable with objective parameters to evaluate transfer of skills to real surgery, with possible benefits for the patient.
