A randomized trial evaluating a cognitive simulator for laparoscopic appendectomy
@article{Loveday2010ART, title={A randomized trial evaluating a cognitive simulator for laparoscopic appendectomy}, author={Benjamin P. T. Loveday and George Oosthuizen and B Scott Diener and John Albert Windsor}, journal={ANZ Journal of Surgery}, year={2010}, volume={80} }
Background: The Integrated Cognitive Simulator (ICS) is a software application that integrates text, anatomy, video and simulation for training clinical procedures. The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to determine the usability of the ICS laparoscopic appendectomy module, and to determine its effectiveness in training the cognitive skills required for the procedure.

This edition of the Journal includes an important paper from the Department of Surgery within the University of Auckland which analyses trainees’ performance following their exposure to a surgical simulator, and concludes that the use of high-tech laparoscopic simulators has not been demonstrated to produce any training benefits over low-cost box trainers.

- MedicineJournal of paediatrics and child health

Paediatric clinicians need to understand the important role this modality may play as an adjunct to training, learning new techniques and maintenance of clinical skills, and the use of simulation in medicine remains somewhat controversial and certainly inconsistent.
