Home- vs. Hospital-based Surgical Training

"The PLET trainer is light and easy to transport packed in a bag and consists of a foldable plastic box, which can be assembled in less than 30 seconds by means of simple handles. There are three accesses for the surgical instruments (ports) as well as a central recess over which a tablet with an integrated camera can be placed.~Each participant received a previously prepared opaque envelope containing a black or white USB stick from the Principal Investigator with the assignments on it as part of the randomization process. The outcome assessors were blinded to the allocation."
