ROgressive struCturEd Simulation-based Surgical training program (PROCESS)

Vascular surgery has been directed towards endovascular approaches; however, not all patients qualify for these procedures. Open vascular surgery remains crucial, demanding a steep learning curve. Exposure to these procedures has declined, resulting in a need for more standardization in acquiring open vascular surgery skills and potentially contributing to poorer outcomes. Simulation offers a solution, yet the evidence for structured programs in open vascular surgery is limited. This study aims to compare the efficacy of technical skill acquisition between a structured, progressive simulation-based training program and traditional experience-based training in open vascular surgery.
