Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyThe Effects of Volume-Controlled and Pressure-Controlled Ventilation on Lung Mechanics, Oxidative Stress, and Recovery in Gynecologic Laparoscopic Surgery.
To compare ventilation variables, changes in oxidative stress, and the quality of recovery in 2 different ventilation strategies (volume-controlled ventilation [VCV] and pressure-controlled ventilation [PCV]) during gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. ⋯ PCV is an alternative ventilation mode in gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. However, PCV offered lower peak airway pressure and higher compliance than VCV but no advantages over VCV in oxidative stress or quality of recovery.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyTraditional Versus Simulation Resident Surgical Laparoscopic Salpingectomy Training: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the porcine training model for obstetrics-gynecology (OB/GYN) residents in laparoscopic salpingectomy. ⋯ This study demonstrates that simulation can improve surgical technique OSATs. However, of 45 possible points, both groups' average scores were <70% of the optimum. Thus, the improvement, although statistically significant, was relatively small and indicates that further supplementation in training is needed to substantially increase the residents' surgical skills.
