Simulation Training Improves Surgical Proficiency and Safety During Diagnostic Shoulder Arthroscopy Performed by Residents.

Although virtual reality simulators have established construct validity, no studies have proven transfer of skills from a simulator to improved in vivo surgical skill. The current authors hypothesized that simulation training would improve residents' basic arthroscopic performance and safety. Twenty-two orthopedic surgery trainees were randomized into simulation or standard practice groups. At ...

Abstract: Disparities in Cosmetic Procedures Performed by Plastic Surgery Residents

INTRODUCTION: Lower eyelid retraction is a common but challenging complication following blepharoplasty. A wide array of techniques has been described to address this problem including the use of posterior lamellar spacer grafts. No consensus exists on the best available spacer graft material. We performed a systematical review of studies comparing efficacy and complication rates among various ...

Intraoperative Flap Complications in LASIK Surgery Performed by Ophthalmology Residents

PURPOSE To report the rate of flap-related complications in LASIK surgery performed by in-training ophthalmology residents and to analyze the risk factors for these complications. METHODS We analyzed 273 flap dissections in 145 patients from March 2013 to February 2014. We included all LASIK surgeries performed by 32 ophthalmology residents using a Moria M2 microkeratome.
