LARS demonstrated excellent inter-rater and test-retest reliability, and construct and concurrent validity and can be used to quantitatively evaluate performance during LA. This can potentially allow specific weaknesses to be identified and improved upon through deliberate practice. Progress can be tracked through re-evaluation and scores of expert surgeons can be used as performance goals for credentialing in LA.
