The Effect of Three-dimensional Versus Two-dimensional Imaging Displays On Task Performance by Laparoscopy-naive Subjects
Joseph M Drosdeck, MD, David B Renton, MD. The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Introduction: Inanimate laparoscopic training techniques such as the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) have a proven benefit on operative skills in trainees with little to no laparoscopic experience. In conjunction with these training techniques, three-dimensional (3D) imaging provides an added… Continue Reading

Validation of an Advanced Laparoscopic Skills Curriculum
Dmitry Nepomnayshy, MD, James Whitteledge, Richard Birkett, MD, Ted Delmonico, MD, Neal Seymour, MD. Lahey Clinic, Baystate Medical Center. INTRODUCTION: Since FLS represents a minimum proficiency standard for laparoscopic surgery, more advanced proficiency standards are required to address the need of current surgical training. We wanted to establish face and construct validity of a new… Continue Reading
