Brief Summary

A randomized controlled trial was conducted at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) Islamabad after approval from the Institutional ethics review board. Fifty-four surgical residents in training and who have completed at least 3 months of surgical training were enrolled in the study. After the residents had performed the procedure initially, 27 were made to watch the procedural videos and learn the steps of the procedure while those of the other group did not watch the videos. Participants of both the groups were made to perform the procedure. GARS (global assessment rating score) was calculated for each individual during their second procedure. All procedures were performed under the supervision of a consultant surgeon who was blinded about the groups and make assessment of the GARS (global assessment rating score).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The GARS (global assessment rating score).

  To determine the GARS score of participants before and after watching the procedural video and compare them which include the following * Respect for tissue * Time and motion * Instrument handling * Depth perception * Bimanual dexterity Total number will be calculated in 2 phases and will be out of 25 and the higher the score, the better the trainee is. The main aspect to be seen will be whether the trainee surgeon improved his GARS score following watching procedural video or not.
