Eye Tracking As a Tool to Evaluate Colonoscopy Skill
Background and Object: Colonoscopy requires a high level of both motor skills and spatial cognitive ability. However, few studies have focused on the cognitive factors of colonoscopy skill. This feasibility study investigated whether measurement of eye tracking during colonoscopy is an effective means of objectively evaluating colonoscopy skill level.Methods and Procedures: Observation and manipulation tasks… Continue Reading

Five Year Experience of the Laparoscopic Skill Accreditation System in Japan
Purpose, Method As we previously reported, the Japan Society of Endoscopic Surgery (JSES) has founded the Endoscopic Surgical Skill Qualification System (ESSQS) in 2004. Applicants were requested to submit unedited videotapes that recorded laparoscopic procedures. Submitted videotapes were evaluated with prepared criteria, namely general (60 pts) and procedure specific (40 pts) criteria, in a double… Continue Reading

Gilding the Golden Hour: Using M&m Conference Data to Refine Resident Education and Patient Safety
IntroductionMorbidity and mortality conference has a long tradition within surgical residency. By focusing on individual recent cases, there is the potential for repetition or omission, and resident education may not be optimized. Formal analysis of the discussion, and critical metrics about the conference itself have been largely lacking. MethodsA de-identified record was made of all… Continue Reading

High Fidelity Reconstruction of Human Anatomy Using 3 Dimensional Printing: Proof of Concept
Introduction:3-Dimensional polymer printing technology (PRT) uses digital imaging to render industrial prototypes for manufacturing. We proposed that newer 3-D PRT could use digital CT and MRI images of the human body to create highly accurate reconstructions of normal and pathological anatomy. Aims:The aim of this proof of concept study was to use clinically relevant CT… Continue Reading

How Do We Make Decsions Regarding Cancer Management?
INTRODUCTION This study aims to: (1) to examine how clinicians in the United Kingdom make decisions related to cancer, and (2) to identify need for support for such decisions. Involvement of patients in medical decision making process is becoming increasingly important within the current healthcare system. The paternalistic model (in which decisions are made for… 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

Improving Surgical Training; the Use of Feedback to Reduce Errors and Improve Retention During a Simulated Surgical Procedure
Introduction: It is known that feedback enhances the learning process, although the optimal type and frequency of feedback is not established. The ProMIS hand-assisted laparoscopic colectomy (HALC) simulator uses a combination of virtual reality (VR) and and physical models of intra-abdominal organs to simulate a left-sided hemicolectomy. It can be used to train surgeons to… Continue Reading

Increased Video Game Experience Results in Improved Laparoscopy Skills: A Prospective Study of Laparoscopically Naive Subjects
Introduction: Although studies have examined the effects of video-game prowess on laparoscopic skills, there is little data showing a significant positive correlation. Prior studies were often performed on physicians and medical students, possibly confounding the results secondary to test subjects’ experience, enthusiasm and familiarity with laparoscopic techniques. To control for this, we performed a prospective… 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

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

Laparoscope Position Impacts Surgeon Efficiency and Workload
INTRODUCTION: Laparoscopic surgery presents several challenges to the novice learner. Laparoscope positioning has been suggested to affect performance. We hypothesized that an off-center laparoscope position would lead to poorer performance and increased workload of the performer. METHODS: General surgery residents (n=11) voluntarily participated in the study protocol. In a live porcine model, three trocars were… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Appendectomy Is Feasible and Safe in Surgical Training
Introduction: The management of acute appendicitis (AA), despite the controversy surrounding it, is having constant increase to minimal access surgery. The discussions focused on the advantages of this type of surgery, throughout the specialized literature, are usually based on reports of procedures performed by well-trained surgeons, rather than resident surgeons. To determine if laparoscopic appendectomy… Continue Reading

Laparoscopic Fellowship Does Not Affect General Surgery Resident Experience
Introduction: With the advent of clinical fellowships in general surgery, there has been a continual debate over the effect on general surgical resident training. Will the fellowship interfere with chief resident experience or case volume? We hypothesize that the presence of an advanced laparoscopic fellow in our tertiary care hospital and residency has had no… Continue Reading

Limited Value of Haptics in Virtual Reality Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Training
INTRODUCTION: Haptics is an expensive addition to virtual reality simulators, and the added value to training has not been proven. This study evaluated the benefit of haptics in virtual reality laparoscopic surgery training of novices. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: The Lap Mentor II (Simbionix, Cleveland, OH) haptic virtual reality simulator was used in the study. Laparoscopic… Continue Reading

Live Cadaveric Laparoscopy with Laparoscopic Videos in Gross Anatomy: Influence on Learning and Career Choice
INTRODUCTION: The fundamentals of gross anatomy are traditionally taught through cadaveric dissection. However, comprehension of abdominal cavity topography may be impeded by limited visualization and previous dissections. Although laparoscopic surgery has become routine in clinical practice, its use in normal anatomy curricula has been very limited. We hypothesized that utilization of laparoscopic videos and live… Continue Reading
