Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-New research on Surgery - Appendectomy is the subject of a report.According to news reporting from Kolding,Denmark,by NewsRx journalists,research stated,"There is currently an increased focus o n competency-based training,in which training and assessment play a crucial rol e.The aim of this systematic review is to create an overview of hands-on traini ng methods and assessment tools for appendectomy and colon and rectal surgery pr ocedures using either an open,laparoscopic or robot-assisted approach." Financial support for this research came from Syddansk Universitet.The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the University o f Southern Denmark,"A systematic review of Medline,Embase,Cochrane and Scopus databases was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines.We conducted the last search on 9 March 2023.All published papers describing handson training,evalu ation of performance data and development of assessment tools were eligible.The quality of studies and the validity evidence of assessment tools are reported.Fifty-one studies were identified.Laparoscopic assessment tools are abundant,b ut the literature still lacks good-quality assessment tools for open appendectom y,robotic colectomy and open rectal surgery.Overall,there is a lack of discus sion regarding the establishment of pass/fail standards and the consequences of assessment.Virtual reality simulation is used more for appendectomy than colore ctal procedures.Only a few of the studies investigating training were of accept able quality.There is a need for high-quality studies in open and robotic-assis ted colon surgery and all approaches to rectal surgery."
