q2 · i? · review · r3

Prospective observational study during two MAS Skill Labs using fresh chicken cadavers for laparoscopic exercises with 3 mm MAS instruments, with 27 participants and feedback collected via the MiSSES scale. The review reports "an overall satisfaction rating of 4.64 ± 0.56".

"Results showed high perceived fidelity, with scores ranging from 3.52 to 4.44 for various laparoscopic aspects, and an overall satisfaction rating of 4.64 ± 0.56. This study successfully validated the avian tissue model as an effective tool for neonatal MAS training, particularly in improving skills such as intracorporeal suturing."

• Systematic review of 72 studies finds no universal MIS training model for neonates and infants, supporting structured proficiency-based curricula — a broader claim this one bears on
• Rabbit model outperformed porcine model for pediatric MIS training, with higher surgical performance scores (8.1 versus 6.0) — related
