  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Aim</jats:title> <jats:p>To evaluate whether surgical trainees undergoing additional simulation, compared to conventional training, are able to achieve proficiency sooner with better patient outcomes.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods</jats:title> <jats:p>This international, multicentre randomised controlled superiority trial recruited urology trainees (n=94) who had performed ≤10 ureterorenoscopy (URS) cases, as a selected index procedure, with no prior simulation experience. Recruits were randomised to simulation-based training or non-simulation-based training groups, the latter of which is the current standard of training. Training sessions were conducted for the simulation arm, utilising an expert-developed multi-modality training curriculum. The primary outcome was the number of procedures required to achieve proficiency, defined as achieving a score of ≥28 on an OSATS scale, on 3 consecutive operations, without complications. Inpatient surgical complications were also recorded. All participants were followed up for 25 procedures or over 18 months.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p>A total of 1140 cases were performed by 65 participants where proficiency was achieved in 21 simulation and 18 conventional participants over a median of 8 and 9 procedures, respectively (HR: 1.41 [95% CI 0.72–2.75]). More participants reached proficiency in the simulation arm in flexible ureterorenoscopy, requiring fewer number of procedures (HR 0.89 [95% CI 0.39–2.02]). Significant differences were observed in overall comparison of OSATS scores between groups (mean difference 1.42 [95% CI 0.91–1.92]; p&amp;lt;0.001), with fewer total complications (15 vs 37; p=0.003) and ureteric injuries (3 vs 9; p&amp;lt;0.001) in the simulation group.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title> <jats:p>Simulation-based training demonstrated higher overall proficiency and fewer procedures were required to achieve proficiency in the complex form of the index procedure with surgical complications.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
