Single incision laparoscopic appendectomy is feasible training method for surgical resident learning single incision laparoscopic surgery.
Jemin Choi, Young-Il Choi. Kosin University Gospel HospitalPURPOSE: Laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) has been widely performed for acute appendicitis. In addition, minimally invasive surgery such as LA is common surgical technique to the surgical residents. However, single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) is a challenge to inexperienced surgical residents. We described our initial experience in teaching SILS… Continue Reading
