Background Despite the value of simulation for surgical training, it is unclear whether acquired competencies persist long term. A prior randomized trial showed that structured simulation improves knowledge of the safe use of electrosurgery (ES) amongst trainees up to 3 months after the curriculum (Madani et al. in Surg Endosc 28(10):2772–2782, 2014). We now analyse long-term knowledge retention...
Background While energy devices are ubiquitous in the operating room, they remain poorly understood and can result in significant complications. The purpose of this study was to estimate the extent to which adding a novel bench-top component improves learning of SAGES’ Fundamental Use of Surgical Energy™ (FUSE) electrosurgery curriculum among surgical trainees. Methods Surgical residents participated...
