About this study

To overcome the obstacles of endoscopic surgery, the da vinci surgical robot system was applied to the various surgery area . And the complete understanding and practice of the robotic system is very important condition for successful robotic surgery.

Investigator developed a home made robotic surgery simulator for novice robotic surgeons. And investigator want to study about the ability of home made robotic surgery simulator versus existing robotic simulation system.

Being tested
existed simulation system user, home made simulator user

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • existed simulation system userProcedure or surgery

    Investigator will divide the subject by the two groups. Each group will take about 15 minutes for exercising drive robotic surgery instrument by each simulation system. After 15 minutes, both group will take an short exam to check the ability to manage the robotic surgery instrument.

  • home made simulator userProcedure or surgery

    Investigator will divide the subject by the two groups. Each group will take about 15 minutes for exercising drive robotic surgery instrument by each simulation system. After 15 minutes, both group will take an short exam to check the ability to manage the robotic surgery instrument.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. comparing the understanding and competence level of robotic surgery system

    questionnaire : please score the difference after finish this study

    • understanding about the robotic surgery
    • upskilling of the robotic system drive
    • system's advantages
    1. portable
    2. anytime possible
    3. practicality as a real robotic surgery
    4. understandable of using clutch
    5. camera management between A and B group system before managing the simulation system and after finishing the simulation system

    Measured: examination day of study participation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing existed simulation system user and home made simulator user in people with Medical School Student and Healthy Population, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

comparing the understanding and competence level of robotic surgery system (time frame: examination day of study participation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Feb 2019.
