76 Chapter 3 Post-intervention The results in Table 4 shows no significant differences in the number of participants that achieved the threshold scores for the vesicourethral anastomosis simulation exercise. None of the partici-pants reached all criteria set by Harrison et. al.13 The highest number of achieved threshold scores were found in the right-handed instrument (72,8%), number of unnecessary needle piercing points (80%), and path length of the right-handed instrument (58,6%) . After the intervention some partic-ipants were able to reach the minimum scores according to criteria in the wound separation but rates were similar for all intervention groups (10%). None of the participants achieved the total time threshold scores.
