New tool could sharpen hysteroscopy training
NCT ID NCT07672288
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a tool called HYSAT that rates how well doctors perform hysteroscopy, a procedure to look inside the uterus. Researchers will observe 24 doctors at three hospitals, comparing novices and experienced doctors. The goal is to see if the tool reliably measures skill, which could improve medical training and patient safety.

Who is studied
Participants will be enrolled from gynecology departments of all three locations: Odense, Odense University Hospital, Ottawa, Ottawa Hospital, Shanghai, Renji hospital. Participants are doctors who perform hysteroscopy. Novices during their residency, who rely on supervision and experts who have done more than 50 hysteroscopies. We aim to include 12 novices and 12 experienced operators and assess 2 procedures from each of them - resulting in 48 performed procedures and 96 completed assessments. Participation is voluntary. The following baseline demographics will be collected: years as a physician, age, sex at birth, years in gynecology, estimated number of performed hysteroscopies. Each participant will be informed of the aim of the study and how data will be used.
