Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To review methods of assessment of technical surgical competence, and to point out the potential benefit of such assessment to training and safe practice.

DESIGN: Review of publications about methods of evaluation of technical surgical competence. Studies were identified through MEDLINE using the keywords surgery, assessment, operative skills, training, and competence. The references cited in these studies were reviewed to find out whether any other trials fitted the selection criteria.

SETTING: Teaching hospital, Denmark.

RESULTS: There are several validated methods that allow objective assessment of operative skills for both open and laparoscopic surgery.

CONCLUSIONS: Objective assessment of technical surgical skills is possible and reliable and valid methods are available. There are good reasons to implement evaluation programmes as a part of surgical education.
