Abstract
Introduction: Hysteroscopy is a critical procedure in gynecology for diagnosing and managing intrauterine pathology. Traditional hands-on training faces ethical and safety challenges, leading to an increased reliance on simulation training. This review systematically assesses the effectiveness of hysteroscopic simulation training in enhancing the technical skills of obstetrics and gynecology residents and medical students.
Methods: A PRISMA-guided literature search was conducted, covering English-language articles from January 2000 to December 2023. Studies were selected based on pre-defined criteria, focusing on the impact of simulation training on the targeted educational group. Metrics for evaluating skill improvement included machine-recorded metrics, Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS), and global rating scales.
Results: The review included nine studies with varied designs, demonstrating significant improvements in hysteroscopic skills following simulation training. Virtual reality (VR) simulators showed substantial benefits in skill acquisition, while physical simulators provided valuable tactile feedback. However, long-term skill retention and the impact on non-technical skills were not adequately assessed.
Conclusions: Simulation-based training effectively enhances hysteroscopic skills in medical students and residents. Further research is needed to explore long-term skill retention and the development of non-technical competencies. Robust studies, including randomized trials, are required for definitive validation.
期刊介绍：
Minimally Invasive Therapy and Allied Technologies (MITAT) is an international forum for endoscopic surgeons, interventional radiologists and industrial instrument manufacturers. It is the official journal of the Society for Medical Innovation and Technology (SMIT) whose membership includes representatives from a broad spectrum of medical specialities, instrument manufacturing and research. The journal brings the latest developments and innovations in minimally invasive therapy to its readers. What makes Minimally Invasive Therapy and Allied Technologies unique is that we publish one or two special issues each year, which are devoted to a specific theme. Key topics covered by the journal include: interventional radiology, endoscopic surgery, imaging technology, manipulators and robotics for surgery and education and training for MIS.
