Virtual Reality Simulator for the Training of Optical Trocar Access
Optical access (direct insertion method with endoscopic view: optical view method) was reported to be one of the simplified methods for well–experienced endoscopic surgeons on first trocar insertion in laparoscopic surgery. Meanwhile, trocar-related injuries sometimes induce serious outcomes on laparoscopic surgery. Because abdominal wall resistance and rigidity is different from one in case of animal… Continue Reading

Investigation of the Relationship Risk Factor of Laparoscopic Assisted Gastrectomy and the Skill of the Assistant of Operation Team.
Introduction: Laparoscopic skills training is becoming the standard for educating surgical residents. Because of the specific procedure, and the difference from open surgery, it is imperative to establish unique training system to promote efficiency of learning laparoscopic skills. Recently in Japan, Japanese Society for Endoscopic Surgery (JSES) authorized technical experts (TA) who were certificated their… Continue Reading

Surgical Resident Retention of Fundamentals of Laparoscopy (fls) Skills
Introduction: Fundamentals of Laparoscopy (FLS) is the standard for demonstrating competency in basic laparoscopic skills. With a combination of formal and self-directed training, all senior residents in our program passed FLS. After testing is completed, it is critical that surgical residents retain the skills examined in FLS. Unfortunately, skill retention is suspect. This study assesses… Continue Reading

Individualized Simulation Using 3d Virtual Reality Image Facilitates Left Colon Cancer Surgery
Background In general, laparoscopic surgery has some disadvantages on surgical procedure with restricted viewing field and loss of haptic sense. Therefore, preoperative imaging assistance is more important in laparoscopic surgery rather than open surgery. For the purpose of improving evaluation of preoperative images, various approaches were proposed for preoperagtive simulation on laparoscopic surgery. We induced… Continue Reading

Impact of Learning Style in Novices\’ Acquisition of Minimally Invasive Surgical (mis) Basic Skills
Introduction: We investigated the impact of learning style on novices’ acquisition of minimally invasive surgical (MIS) basic skills. Methods: One hundred five novice medical students underwent text-based (TB), video-based (VB), or faculty-tutored (FT) single session instruction in three basic MIS skills tasks on a box trainer. Pre-session, participants completed a validated questionnaire related to learning… Continue Reading

Program of Basic Training in Endoscopy for Surgeons to Perform NOTES
Introduction: Throughout the history of medicine, physicians have sought less invasive approaches to the diagnosis and therapy of diseases. Since the advent of interventional endoscopic therapy, the fields of gastrointestinal surgery and interventional endoscopy have been on converging paths. Therapeutic endoscopists are becoming increasingly invasive, performing interventions such as transgastric pseudocyst drainage and pancreatic necrosectomy.… Continue Reading

The Use of Remote Computer Audio-video Processing to Conduct Surgical Fellowship Interviews of Deployed Physicians.
Background: With the increased worldwide involvement of the United States military, the demand for surgeons continues to increase. Deployment of these individuals places a great burden on their families, their surgical practices, and their careers. Many of these physicians are still in residency and attempting to obtain further training positions. We describe the use of… Continue Reading

Surgical Technologists Demonstrate Initial Proficiency and Positive Impressions of Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Skills Training
Background: Surgical team training is emerging as an important component of patient safety. One pattern of teamwork is the Shared Mental Model, where all members are “on the same page,” and have a common set of knowledge, expectations, and skills. The feasibility and value of having assistant surgical technologists share the same basic skill sets… Continue Reading

Current Status of Peri-operative Technical Skill Feedback – a Needs Assessment
Introduction: Timely and constructive feedback is of significant importance to honing and retaining any newly learned item. Surgical residencies are notorious for providing feedback that is limited in quantity and neither helpful nor well-timed. Among all topics taught in a surgical residency, technical skills require the most time and involve the most effort to teach,… Continue Reading
