Purpose: Anatomical knowledge of medical students and residents is insufficient and further anatomical sciences throughout medical curriculum may be necessary.

      ab: Purpose: Anatomical knowledge of medical students and residents is insufficient and further anatomical sciences throughout medical curriculum may be necessary. The first aim of this study was to assess pelvic and perineal anatomical knowledge retention of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (Ob/Gyn) residents. The second was to assess the impact of an e-learning tool on anatomical knowledge. Methods: A survey was sent by mail to medical students and Ob/Gyn residents. After completion, Ob/Gyn residents were randomised to "e-learning" group or to "Control" group. "E-learning" group had an unlimited access to a tool about female pelvic and perineum anatomy, implemented by iMAIOS society in their online platform. A second assessment of residents' anatomical knowledge was done 2 months after randomisation. Results: Ob/Gyn residents (N = 23) had a significant lower global score than third-year medical students (N = 103) (22.1% (± 10.2) vs 43.8% (± 12.1), p < 0.0001). Two months after randomisation, residents of "control" group demonstrated no significant difference between the two questionnaires (3.6%, p = 0.31), whilst the "e-learning" group demonstrated a significant increase overall (10.6%, p = 0.09). There was no significant difference on the post-intervention questionnaire between control and "e-learning" group (25.4% vs 33% respectively, p = 0.34). Conclusion: Knowledge of pelvic and perineal anatomy is poor. This e-learning tool aimed at improving anatomical knowledge retention but is not sufficient. A combination of traditional approaches and innovative solutions should be proposed throughout medical school and residency to maintain anatomical knowledge.
