Review of 3 studies measuring suturing, cutting, and cautery skills, finding "significant improvement on suturing, cutting, and cautery skills in the trained group as compared to the control group."

"Three (14%) of the 21 studies reported significant improvement on suturing, cutting, and cautery skills in the trained group as compared to the control group."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Simulation-based training significantly improves surgical trainees' time to completion, technical errors, skills scores and theoretical knowledge in heart valve surgery — a broader claim this one bears on
• A 2-day endoscopic mitral annuloplasty course significantly improved operative speed, suture accuracy and theoretical knowledge — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Digital effectiveness depends on the skill taught: virtual training matched face-to-face for suturing and knot-tying, but computer-based learning fell short for CPR — related
• For lower-stakes basic skills, AR shows noninferiority rather than superiority over traditional instruction — related
