Telementoring effectively trains surgeons in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). This telemedicine approach, using real-time audio-video, proved safe and comparable to traditional in-person mentoring for surgical residents.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Medical Technology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Limited availability of expert laparoscopic surgeons for training.
  • Increasing demand for laparoscopic surgical techniques necessitates innovative training methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of telemedicine for mentoring surgeons during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).
  • To compare telementored LC (TLC) with standard LC (SLC) performed with in-person mentors.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a Surgical Telementoring Suite for real-time audio-video communication during surgery.
  • Compared outcomes of 6 TLC cases with 6 age/sex-matched SLC controls.
  • Analyzed operative times and specific procedural metrics between TLC and SLC groups, and between different mentee compositions (staff/resident vs. resident/resident).

Main Results:

  • No significant difference in major operative complications between TLC and SLC groups (p > 0.05).
  • Total operative times were comparable: 92.2 ± 18.4 min (SLC) vs. 94.7 ± 25.3 min (TLC).
  • No statistically significant differences were found in key procedural times between telementored and standard groups, or between staff/resident and resident/resident mentee teams (p > 0.05).

Conclusions:

  • Telementoring is a safe and effective method for teaching laparoscopic cholecystectomy techniques.
  • This approach is suitable for training surgical residents, regardless of whether staff surgeons are also present.
