A Prospective Randomized Study to Evaluate the Clinical Impact of a Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy Online Simulator
Objectives: To compare two different approaches in learning laparoscopic radical
prostatectomy , with or without using an online video simulator Design : Prospective
randomized multicentric study
Methods: 20 surgeons considered as naive concerning their experience in laparoscopic radical
prostatectomy will be randomized into two groups :1 group will use the online video
simulator, 1 group will use usual learning methods except the online video simulator.
All procedures will be recorded from the beginning till the end.A video review will be
preformed concerning all the videos in order to identify the total operative time and time
to perform each one of the operative steps of the procedure.Clinical , biological and
histological data will be collected in order to compare the two arms.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Surgeon beginning his clinical experience in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and
having performed less then 30 procedures before being enrolled in the study
- Surgeon who intends to begin laparoscopic radical prostatectomy clinical practice
- Surgeons who usually perform enough cases to enroll at least 10 patients during the
study inclusion time
Exclusion Criteria:
- Surgeon who does not have access to high speed internet (>1024 Ko/s)
- Surgeons who do not intend to begin laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in his
clinical practice
Type of Study:

Study Design:
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label
Outcome Measure:

Outcome Time Frame:
during the procedure
Safety Issue:
No
