The surgeon's knot-tying technique plays a crucial role in the recovery of patients after single-port laparoscopy. Knot tying is very challenging in minimally invasive surgery and is a critical skill in advanced surgery. In this study, investigators introduce a new knotting technique, compare it with the traditional knotting technique in many aspects, and also discuss its application in the teaching of single-port laparoscopic knotting.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Accuracy of needle entry | The needle stick should be in and out of the centre of the dot. The operator received 2 points if it was in the centre of the dot, 1 point if it deviated from the centre, and 0 points if it was outside the dot. | through study completion, an average of 1 month |
| Stability of the knot | The knot was required to be a surgical triple knot and should not have been a smooth knot or a loose knot. A normal knot received 2 points. A smooth knot received 1 point,and 0 points were awarded for a loose knot. | through study completion, an average of 1 month |
| Tissue integrity | The suture tissue should not be damaged or ruptured. The trainee received a score of two for integrity, 1 for a few cracks, and 0 for a complete fracture of the tissue. | through study completion, an average of 1 month |
| Tightness of the tissue | The tightness of the suture tissue indicated that the two sides of the sutured tissue were closely connected. The operator received 2 points if there was no gap between the two sides of the incision, 1 point for a few gaps, and 0 points for a totally loose suture. | through study completion, an average of 1 month |

All the candidates were junior residents. Forty volunteers were selected according to the established criteria and randomly divided into control group and experimental group by computer-generated simple randomization. There were twenty volunteers in each group, and each group was composed of five males and fifteen females. The volunteers in control group study traditional knotting technology, and the volunteers in experimental group study new knotting technology. A statistician in our hospital completed the random distribution of the subjects and ensured the confidentiality of the grouping information. Before participating in the study, the subjects completed a questionnaire about their demographic information, such as age, gender and experience in video games.
