  • Retention of basic laparoscopic skills after a structured training program
    Gynecological Surgery, 2009
    Co-Authors: E. Hiemstra, W. Kolkman, M. A. J. Put, F. W. Jansen
    Abstract:

    The purpose of this study was to test the retention of basic laparoscopic skills on a box trainer 1 year after a short training program. For a prior study, eight medical students without prior experience (novices) underwent baseline testing, followed by five weekly training sessions and a final test. During each of seven sessions, they performed five tasks on an inanimate box trainer. Scores were calculated by adding up the time to completion of the task with penalty points, consequently rewarding speed and precision. The sum score was the sum of the five scores. One year later, seven of them underwent retention testing for the current study. The final test results were compared with retention test results as a measure of durability of acquired skills. Novices’ scores did not worsen significantly for four out of five tasks (i.e., placing a Pipe Cleaner p  = 0.46, placing beads p  = 0.24, cutting a circle p  = 0.31, and knot tying p  = 0.13). However, deterioration was observed in the performance on stretching a rubber band ( p

However, deterioration was observed in the performance on stretching a rubber band (p < 0.05), as well as in the sum score (p < 0.05). Nevertheless, all retention scores remained better than the baseline results. In conclusion, basic laparoscopic skills acquired during a short training program merely sustain over time. However, ongoing practice is advisable, especially to preserve tissue-handling skills, since these may be the first to deteriorate.

  • Engineering for problem solving in future: eco-social market economy and eco-social tech.
    Journal of environmental sciences (China), 2001
    Co-Authors: Anton Moser
    Abstract:

    The paper differentiates approaches in technology (end-of-Pipe, Cleaner production, industrial ecology, zero emission and eco-social tech) and compares them in respect to the problem solving capacity on the ecological as well as social dimension by showing the eco-impact reduction and job creation. Eco-social-tech represents the approach with highest problem solution as it is based on “eco-social market economy”, which will the replace free market economy. The deep background of these innovations is “ecosophy”, the wisdom of nature, which serves as guideline for eco-restructuring the world.
