Description
Summary:Background: This manuscript aims to evaluate VATS lobectomy simulation training and the success of surgeons who have just started on simulation. Materials and Methods: In the study, which was designed prospectively, we used a VATS simulation device to evaluate two expert surgeons and three residents’ VATS right upper lobectomy outcomes. Fortyfive resections were performed by residents (Group-A), while 43 resections were performed by expert surgeons (Group-B). Results: 45 (51.1%) were in Group-A, and 43 were in Group-B 78 (88.6%) successful resections were completed in simulation. The division and stapling time of the bronchus, superior pulmonary vein, and superior pulmonary artery was shorter for Group-B than for Group-A (p
