CI = 95% confidence interval
*One-sided 97.5% confidence interval
| Residents [n=16 unless otherwise noted] | Attendings [n=8 unless otherwise noted] | |
| Model is realistic | 75 (CI 8, 93) | 83 (CI 36, 100) [n=6] |
| Looks like human tissue | 87 (CI 62, 98) | 100 (CI 63*) |
| Accurately resembles human anatomy | 100 (CI 79*) | 87 (CI 47, 100) |
| Provides realistic surgical feedback | 44 (CI 20, 70) | 100 (CI 63, 100) |
| Dissection of myoma is realistic | 56 (CI 30, 80) | 83 (CI 36, 100) [n=6] |
| Repairing uterus is realistic | 44 (CI 20, 70) | 67 (CI 22, 96) [n=6] |
| Bleeding feature is realistic | 82 (CI 48, 98) [n=11] | 67 (CI 9, 99) [n=3] |
| Found it difficult to perform procedure | 31 (CI 11, 59) | 37 (CI 8, 75) |
| Encountered same difficulties on model as in live procedure | 61 (CI 32, 86) [n=13] | 57 (CI 18, 90) [n=7] |
| Model is a useful training tool | 94 (CI 70, 100) | 83 (CI 36, 100) [n=6] |
| Includes all of the critical steps of the procedure | 94 (CI 70, 100) | 87 (CI 47, 99) |
| Model is valuable tool for assessing user’s ability | 62 (CI 35, 85) | 75 (CI 35, 97) |
| Skilled gynecologic surgeon should be able to successfully complete simulation | 94 (CI 70, 100) | 87 (CI 47, 99) |
| Would feel more prepared to participate in live surgery after practicing on this model (residents only) | 87 (CI 62, 98) | - |
| Would feel comfortable giving more autonomy to resident if they had completed this simulation (attendings only) | - | 71.4 (CI 29, 96) [n=7] |
