75 Training novice robot surgeons: Proctoring provides same results as simulator-generated guidance Threshold scores achievement during vesicourethral anastomosis simulation exercise. Pre-intervention The results in Table 3 shows no significant differences in the number of participants among the dif-ferent study groups who achieved the threshold scores for the vesicourethral anastomosis simula-tion exercise. None of the participants achieved all criteria set by Harrison et al. The highest num-ber of achieved threshold scores were in the number of movements of the right instrument (68,6%), number of unnecessary needle piercing points (54,3%), total time the out of view instru-ments (52,8%) , and path length of the right instrument (50%). None of the participants reached the wound separation and total time threshold scores.
