Impact of Behavioral Compliance Between Residents and Surgeons

This study aims to evaluate the influence of perceived peer performance on the clinical skill of trocar placement during laparoscopic cholecystectomy among surgeons and surgical residents. It investigates whether exposure to incorrect trocar placements by peers affects the accuracy of subsequent placements.

Treatment and study plan

incorrect trocar placement marks.

Behavioral

Participants in the experimental group will perform trocar placements on laparoscopic models that have been pre-marked with incorrect insertion sites by previous participants. These marks simulate procedural steps or anatomical landmarks that are intentionally incorrect.

Primary outcomes

accuracy of the trocar placements

Time frame: 1 week

The participant must define in a graphic format the site where the trocars would be placed to perform a laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

The number of trocars correctly placed will be recorded. A rate of will be calculated: Trocars in the correct place/Total number of trocars.
