Sammanfattning

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to establish whether or not a »virtual reality« computer simulation program was able to differentiate between experienced and inexperienced endoscopists. Materials and methods: Twenty-four gastroenterologists and gastrointestinal surgeons participated in the study. The participants were divided into two groups depending on their level of experience with endoscopic procedures: experienced (> 200 performed gastroscopies) and inexperienced (< 50 performed gastroscopies).They all completed level one of the task »Cyberscopy« on the Simbionix GI Mentor II computer simulator. The assessment of endoscopic skills included time, errors and economy of hand movements, as measured by the simulator and assessed by an experienced independent observer. Results: There was a significant difference between the two groups of participants. The experienced group completed the procedures faster (p < 0.001), with fewer errors (p = 0.006), and had a higher economy of movements score (p = 0.005) than the inexperienced endoscopists. Discussion: The virtual reality computer simulator was able to differentiate between physicians and surgeons with varying degrees of experience in endoscopic procedures.
