PROCEDURE AND METHODS: With detailed… Continue Reading
Validation of a High-fidelity NOTES Simulator for Team Training
Background: Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) is evolving as a surgical modalitybut requires more outcome data and elucidation of technical challenges. Simulation training has reached the forefront of surgical education and has also been applied to emerging techniques. Training as part of teams is an important component of simulation. With NOTES, new interactions between… Continue Reading
