ABSTRACT

Background: Since the beginning of laparoscopy, surgeons were faced with the challenge of acquiring new skills to develop in their surgical practice. Surgical education strategies are in constant evolution, such as the use of surgical simulators. The use of simulators provides a learning environment, combined with efficiency and safety. Material and methods: During the 2013-2014 school years, two students groups were involved belonging to the second and fourth year of the School of Medicine at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Group A (50 sophomores) were trained using a laparoscopic simulator. Group B (50 fourth-year students) attended laparoscopic surgeries at their teaching hospitals. Each student evaluated at the beginning and end of the study. Results: Ten skills were evaluated. Significant improvement was found in both groups, but it was higher in students who were trained by a laparoscopic surgery simulator. The model used in this protocol, is low-cost, easy to assemble, and doesn’t require infrastructure, resources that are needed in other simulators. Conclusions: Minimally invasive surgery is in ongoing expansion, acceptance and improvement. The implementation of a basic surgical training in medical education is very important from undergraduate years to develop and acquire skills that will serve during the professional career.
