Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The aim of this study is to determine if training with a robotic simulator improves ability to perform robotic suturing. We aim to recruit 38 participants (attending surgeons or residents in obstetrics and gynecology, urology, general surgery, or cardiac surgery). Participants will be randomized to training with a virtual reality robotic simulator in addition to clinical work or to usual clinical work alone for a period of 5 weeks. They will be tested at baseline and post-intervention in the task of suturing a inanimate model with the actual surgical robot. After the initial study period, the control group will have the opportunity to cross over and complete the training and then re-testing.

Investigators

The overall officials registered on this study. Names that resolve to a findmyKOL profile link to it; the rest are shown as registered.

A profile link is shown only when the registered name resolves to a person record with a confident, namesake-checked match; ambiguous names stay unlinked.

Sites

2 registered facilities, with the per-site recruitment status where the registry publishes one. ClinicalTrials.gov does not publish per-site enrollment counts.

Canada
  • Jewish General Hospital

Site investigator names are published by ClinicalTrials.gov only while a study recruits, so completed studies list sites without them.
