Telementoring of Endoscopic Suturing Using the Annotation System Between Japan and Thailand
BACKGROUND: Endoscopic surgery has developed dramatically during the past decade due to its many advantages. Endoscopic surgery requires unique new skills that differ from those of open surgery, and therefore, professional education/training is very important. However, since qualified instructors are not necessarily available for teaching this technique, differences in surgical skill level between different areas… Continue Reading

The Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (fls) Simulator As a Platform for Evaluating Single Port Laparoscopic Surgery and Enabling Instrumentation
Introduction: Single port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) has been introduced into different surgical specialties as an effort to further decrease the trauma of access to the abdomen. As a result, there is an evolving stream of technology and instrumentation designed to enable performance of these procedures. The development of articulating and bent instrumentation permits triangulation intracorporeally… Continue Reading

The Impact of a Mentor on the Early Learning Curve in Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery
INTRODUCTION The aim was to systematically review the literature and determine the impact of a mentor on the conversion rates and outcome data of trainee cases.The best way to ensure safe, effective reproducible training for laparoscopic colorectal surgery (LCS) is unknown. The traditional “master-apprentice” model for learning surgery is gradually being replaced by alternative training… Continue Reading

The Impact of Verbal Guidance on Laparoscopic Skills Training and Multi-tasking Performance
Introduction: Evidence from studies of implicit motor learning suggest that advantages accrue from discouraging the build up of verbal knowledge about the movements that constitute a skill. The advantages include performance that is impervious to demands present in challenging task environments (e.g., stress, fatigue or multi-tasking). The objective of the study was to examine the… 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

Training the Surgeons for Complex Surgical Upper Gastro Intestinal and Colorectal Procedures in United Kingdom
Aims Advanced laparoscopic surgery requires good eye hand co ordination and familiarity with surgical anatomy. Learning curve for various complex laparoscopic procedures is steep. The major colorectal and Oesophago Gastric cases are particularly challenging. There are few realistic models which allow the surgeons to accomplish competence in the knowledge of anatomy and depth percetion and… Continue Reading

Validation of a New Training Curriculum for Basic Laparoscopic Skills
Introduction: The use of virtual simulation has been validated for the acquisition and development of laparoscopic surgical skills. Accordingly, a training curriculum for basic laparoscopic skills in our residency program has been developed. This curriculum was used in the present study to evaluate the sensibility of different variables for detecting skill acquisition and the impact… Continue Reading

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

Web Based Tele-simulation Training
Introduction: Since the advent of modern surgical training, surgeons have acquired their skills and dexterity through a prolonged training process of internship, residency, and fellowship. Due to resident work-hour limitations, surgical residents have fewer opportunities than ever to directly participate in operations and acquire surgical skills. Simulation, most notably in the laparoscopic arena, has served… Continue Reading
