Model for simulated training of laparoscopic gastroenterostomy

To develop a model of gastroenterostomy and to analyze the acquisition of skills after training by simulation. Experimental longitudinal study and of a quantitative character. The sample consisted of twelve general surgery residents from four hospitals. The training consisted of making ten anastomoses divided equally into five sessions and it took place over a period of six weeks. The evaluation of the anastomoses considered the time and the analysis of the operative technique through the global evaluation scale Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS). Residents showed a reduction in operative time and evolution in the surgical technique statistically significant (p
