模拟器和技能培训计划评估和实施工作组是欧洲内窥镜外科医生协会（EAES）新成立的小组。该工作组对手术模拟器的确认证据进行了审查，并在本文中提出了由此产生的共识。使用临床指南标准，对六种不同模拟器的确认证据进行了评级，随后将其转化为每种系统的建议水平。模拟器可以分为两种基本类型;腹腔镜普通外科手术系统和柔性胃肠镜系统。选择纳入本共识的模拟器是基于它们的可用性和相对广泛的使用，截至2004年7月。虽然一些系统达到了2级建议，但很明显，总体上缺乏具有严格实验方法的已发表验证研究。自共识会议以来，出现了一些新文章、系统升级和新设备。工作组打算定期更新这些共识准则，并在EAES网站（http：//www.example.com）上提供由此产生的文章。www.eaes-eur.org
The Work Group for Evaluation and Implementation of Simulators and Skills Training Programmes is a newly formed subgroup of the European Association of Endoscopic Surgeons (EAES). This work group undertook a review of validation evidence for surgical simulators and the resulting consensus is presented in this article. Using clinical guidelines criteria, the evidence for validation for six different simulators was rated and subsequently translated to a level of recommendation for each system. The simulators could be divided into two basic types; systems for laparoscopic general surgery and flexible gastrointestinal endoscopy. Selection of simulators for inclusion in this consensus was based on their availability and relatively widespread usage as of July 2004. Whilst level 2 recommendations were achieved for a few systems, it was clear that there was an overall lack of published validation studies with rigorous experimental methodology. Since the consensus meeting, there have been a number of new articles, system upgrades and new devices available. The work group intends to update these consensus guidelines on a regular basis, with the resulting article available on the EAES website (http://www.eaes-eur.org).
