The effect of verbal feedback, video feedback, and self-assessment on laparoscopic intracorporeal suturing skills in novices: a randomized trial.

Structured video feedback facilitates reflection and self-directed learning, which improves the ability to develop proficiency in surgical skills. Combining both self-assessment and video feedback may be beneficial over verbal feedback alone due to the advantages of video review. These techniques should therefore be considered for implementation into surgical education curricula.
