Abstract
The Fundamentals of Laparascopic Surgery (FLS) trainer box is now established as a standard for evaluating minimally invasive surgical skills. A particularly simple task in this trainer box is the peg transfer task which is aimed at testing the surgeon’s bimanual dexterity, hand-eye coordination, speed and precision. The Virtual Basic Laparoscopic Skill Trainer (VBLaST©) is a virtual version of the FLS tasks which allows automatic scoring and real time, subjective quantification of performance without the need of a human proctor. In this paper we report validation studies of the VBLaST© peg transfer (VBLaST-PT©) simulator.
Thirty-five subjects with medical background were divided into two groups: experts (PGY 4-5, fellows and practicing surgeons) and novices (PGY 1-3). The subjects were asked to perform the peg transfer task on both the FLS trainer box and the VBLaST-PT© simulator and their performance was evaluated based on established metrics of error and time. A new length of trajectory (LOT) metric has also been introduced for offline analysis. A questionnaire was used to rate the realism of the virtual system on a 5-point Likert scale.
Preliminary face validation of the VBLaST-PT© with 34 subjects rated on a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire revealed high scores for all aspects of simulation, with 3.53 being the lowest mean score across all questions. A two-tailed Mann-Whitney performed on the total scores showed significant (p=0.001) difference between the groups. A similar test performed on the task time (p=0.002) and the length of trajectory (p=0.004) separately showed statistically significant differences between the experts and novice groups (p<0.05). The experts appear to be traversing shorter overall trajectories in less time than the novices.
VBLaST-PT© showed both face and construct validity and has promise as a substitute for the FLS to training peg transfer skills.
