A Prospective Randomized Blinded Trial Comparing Digital Simulation to Textbook for Cleft Surgery Education

Background: Simulation is progressively being integrated into surgical training, yet its utility in plastic surgery has not been well described. We present a prospective, randomized, blinded trial comparing digital simulation to a surgical textbook for conceptualization of cleft-lip repair. Methods: Thirty-five medical students were randomized to learning cleft repair using a simulator or textbook. Participants outlined markings for a standard cleft-lip repair before (pre-intervention) and after (post-intervention) 20 minutes of studying their respective resource. Two expert reviewers blindly graded markings according to a 10-point scale, on two separate occasions. Intra-rater and inter-rater reliability were calculated using intra-class correlation coefficients. Paired and independent t-tests were performed to compare scoring between study groups. A validated student satisfaction survey was administered to assess the two resources separately. Results: Intra-rater grading reliability was excellent among both raters for pre-intervention and post-intervention grading (rater 1 ICC=0.94 and 0.95, respectively; rater 2 ICC=0.60 and 0.92, respectively; p
