Comparison of distance versus in-person laparoscopy training using a low-cost laparoscopy simulator—a randomized controlled multi-center trial
Our study shows that students that underwent digital laparoscopic training completed tasks with a similar number of errors but in a shorter time than students that underwent in-person training. Nevertheless, the best strategies to implement such digital training options need to be evaluated further to support surgeons' personal preferences and expectations.
