Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

A single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled intervention trial to validate an inexpensive practice model for acquisition of microsurgical skills. Following a pre-assessment microsurgical skills task, participants were randomized to either an intervention group to build a micro-stellated icosahedron, or to a control group with no specific task assigned. A post-assessment microsurgical skills task was given to all participants after two weeks. Videos of pre- and post-assessments were masked and independently rated by two ophthalmologists using Video-based Modified Objective Structure Assessment of Technical Skill (OSATS) scoring criteria. Analyses were done to determine improvement in time required to complete tasks and in scores between pre- and post- assessments.
