[The application effect of a new type of laparoscopic multi-freedom surgical instrument in the training of basic surgical skills].

To evaluate the application effect of a new type of laparoscopic multi-degree-of-freedom surgical instrument in the training of basic surgical skills and analyze the learning curve. The teaching records of the trainees who received training in the training base of laparoscopic surgeons in Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital from January to October, 2023 were collected. The 50 trainees were randomly divided into conventional instrumentation group and new instrumentation group with 25 trainees in each group according to the random number table method before the training. According to the research design, five modules such as "accurate bean clamping, plum blossom pile bean clamping, ferrule positioning, threading with both hands, sewing and knotting" were trained. After the training, they were assessed and the completion time of each module was recorded. The comparison of the changes of the completion time of the two groups of students before and after training was statistically analyzed by differences-in-differences(DID) method, and the fitting analysis of learning curve was analyzed by cumulative summation method Before the training, there was no statistically significant difference in the time required to complete five modules between the two groups of trainees (all >0.05). After the training, the time to complete the five modules in both groups was reduced compared to before the training (accurate bean clamping: (63.7±9.3) seconds (85.4±18.2) seconds, 2.38, 0.035; plum blossom pile bean clamping: (45.2±6.8) seconds (103.1±57.2) seconds, 8.77, =0.047; ring positioning: (78.5±19.1) seconds (126.2±26.3) seconds, 6.96, 0.019; threading with both hands: (63.3±21.2) seconds (105.8±27.9) seconds, 3.43, 0.015; sewing and knotting: (160.2±79.5) seconds (228.9±96.6) seconds, 4.58, 0.008).The average time required to complete the five modules was shorter in the new instrument group compared to the conventional instrument group (DID for accurate bean clamping=37.66, 2.43, =0.007; DID for plum blossom pile bean clamping=58.42, 3.03, 0.013; DID for ferrule positioning=28.33, =2.83, =0.031; DID for threading with both hands=48.89, 2.10, 0.042; DID for sewing and knotting=54.78, 3.57, 0.012). In the learning curves for the plum blossom pile bean clamping, ferrule positioning, and sewing and knotting modules, the new instrument group required fewer class hours to reach proficiency compared to the conventional instrument group (plum blossom pile bean clamping: 3 class hours . 4 class hours; ferrule positioning: 4 class hours . 5 class hours; sewing and knotting: 3 class hours 5 class hours). In the accurate bean clamping and threading with both hands modules, both the conventional and new instrument groups crossed the learning curve at the 5 class hour, but there was a statistically significant difference in the slopes of the curves between the two groups (accurate bean clamping: =-2.85,=0.004; threading with both hands:=-2.66,0.008). The new type of laparoscopic multi-degree-of-freedom surgical instruments can improve the learning effect and shorten the learning curve in laparoscopic training teaching, which shows good application effect and has the possibility of clinical trial.
