Simulation in laparoscopic surgery: a concurrent validity study for FLS.

George G Xeroulis, Adam A Dubrowski, and Ken K Leslie

Surg Endosc 23(1):161-5 (2009) PMID 18814001

Current assessments using the fundamentals of laparoscopic surgery (FLS) tasks are labour intensive and depend heavily on expert raters. Hand motion analysis may offer an alternative method of objective evaluation of FLS performance.

    Psychol Assess (2013) PMID 23647045

    We conducted real-data simulations with previously collected responses (N = 8,690) to the Schedule for Nonadaptive and Adaptive Personality (SNAP). Three CAT algorithms (IRT-CAT, IRT-CAT with 5-item minimum, CM-CAT) were evaluated for item savings, classification accuracy, and convergent/discriminan...

    Surg Endosc (2013) PMID 23636522

    A total of 501 patients were included in the study. Of them, 30.5 % suffered at least one complication and 6.5 % more than one. Complications that were mainly medical or surgical site infections requiring minor intervention (grades 1 and 2) occurred in 22.9 % of patients. Surgical complications r...
