Table 3. Median visual analog scale (VAS) score for post-simulation survey statements, by mode of simulation.

VAS = visual analog scale, IQR = interquartile range

*p value not calculated due to n<5 in both groups

	Overall [n=24 unless otherwise noted]	Conventional laparoscopy [n=12 unless otherwise noted]	Robot-assisted [n=12 unless otherwise noted]	p Value
Model is realistic	4 (IQR 4-5) [n=22]	4 (IQR 4-4.5)	4 (IQR 3-5) [n=10]	.841
Looks like human tissue	4 (IQR 4-5)	4 (IQR 4-5)	4 (IQR 4-5)	.772
Accurately resembles human anatomy	5 (IQR 4-5)	5 (IQR 4-5)	4 (IQR 4-5)	.258
Provides realistic surgical feedback	4 (IQR 3-4)	4 (IQR 2.5-4)	4 (IQR 3-4)	.904
Dissection of myoma is realistic	4 (IQR 3-4) [n=22]	4 (IQR 3-4)	3.5 (IQR 3-4) [n=10]	.976
Repairing uterus is realistic	3.5 (IQR 3-4) [n=22]	4 (IQR 3-4)	3 (IQR 2-4) [n=10]	.139
Bleeding feature is realistic	4.5 (IQR 4-5) [n=14]	5 (IQR 3-5) [n=7]	4 (IQR 4-5) [n=7]	>0.99
Found it difficult to perform procedure	3 (IQR 1.5-4)	4 (IQR 2-4)	2 (IQR 1.5-3)	.073
Encountered same difficulties on model as in live procedure	4 (IQR 3-5) [n=20]	4 (IQR 3-5)	3 (IQR 3-4.5) [n=8]	.787
Model is a useful training tool	5 (IQR 4-5) [n=22]	4.5 (IQR 4-5)	5 (IQR 4-5) [n=10]	.764
Includes all of the critical steps of the procedure	5 (IQR 4-5)	5 (IQR 4.5-5)	5 (IQR 4-5)	.401
Model is valuable tool for assessing user’s ability	4 (IQR 3-5)	4.5 (IQR 2.5-5)	4 (IQR 3.5-5)	.795
Skilled gynecologic surgeon should be able to successfully complete simulation	5 (IQR 4-5)	5 (IQR 4-5)	5	.358
Would feel more prepared to participate in live surgery after practicing on this model (residents only)	5 (IQR 4-5) [n=16]	4 (IQR 4-5) [n=8]	5 (IQR 4.5-5) [n=8]	.230
Would feel comfortable giving more autonomy to resident if they had completed this simulation (attendings only)	5 (IQR 3-5) [n=7]	5 (IQR 3-5) [n=3]	4.5 (IQR 3.5-5) [n=4]	*
