In some curricula the GOALS is the gold standard in assessment of laparoscopic skills, the GRITS combines items of the OSATS and GOALS. The OSATS, GRITS and GOALS use a global rating scale. The GASS is a six-point global assessment of surgical skill focusing on the safety of execution. It uses a three point ‘safety scale’ (“poor–unsafe”, “adequate–safe”, “good–safe”).42 With the same focus on outcome and safety OCHRA and GERT assessments of the LSG and LRYGB have been created. Different groups have created procedure-specific or procedure-based assessment tools (PBA or PSAT). These are combined with either a global rating scale or independence scale. Glarner et al. introduced an independence scale of the role of the resident during the operative procedure.45 Figure 3 shows these independence and safety scales, as well as the 8 157 General discussion and future perspectives
