OBJECTIVES: The hands-on surgical training course utilizes 3-dimensional (3D)-printed heart models to simulate complex congenital heart operations. This study aimed to validate a model and assessment tool in the simulation of 2 techniques of the Norwood operation and investigate whether technical performance improves following rehearsal with or without proctor presence.METHODS: Five 'experienced' and 5 'junior' surgeons performed 2 techniques of the Norwood operation on 3D-printed models of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Performances were retrospectively assessed by 10 raters with varying experience in congenital heart surgery (CHS) (Medical Doctorate versus non-Medical Doctorate). Assessments were made with the procedure-specific Hands-On Surgical Training-CHS tool. Results were analysed for technical performance and rater consistency. Following validation, 30 surgeons (24 with proctor guidance and 6 with training videos and objective feedback only) simulated the Norwood operation twice.RESULTS: Performance scores were consistently higher for experienced surgeons and raters discriminated clearly between the experienced and junior surgeons (P
