Abstract: Laparoscopic surgery has become the “gold standard” for common for typical surgeries such as appendectomies and cholecystectomies. Surgical simulators have an increasing function in the guideline and training in surgical abilities, and simulation-based training with natural experiences has the prospective to make a substantial contribution to advancement of the surgical curriculum. The aim of this systematic review was to determine whether skills acquired through simulation-based training are transferable to the operative setting. Studies were identified by searching MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Current Contents, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library, from the inception of the databases to October 2016. The York (UK) Centre for Reviews and Dissemination databases, Clinicaltrials.gov, National Research Register, Meta-Register, and the Australian Clinical Trials Registry were also searched in October 2016. Laparoscopic surgery is particularly well suited to technical skills training as it requires a skill-set based on instrumentation, depth perception, and fine motor control. The aim of this systematic review was to determine whether skills acquired through simulation-based training are transferable to the operative setting.
