Background: With the evolution of medical education, innovative teaching methods like video
animation have emerged as crucial tools in delivering complex surgical skills training. This study investigates the effectiveness and students' perceptions of video animations in learning obstetrics and gynecology (OBG) surgical skills. A total of 450 medical students participated in this study. Data were collected via a Likert scale survey and Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) scores, comparing outcomes from both video animation-based learning and traditional live surgery demonstrations. Results showed a significant improvement in understanding and performance after using video animation, though live demonstrations continued to be perceived as slightly more effective by the students.
