This study introduces a new training course for laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication, a surgery for gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). The course enhances surgical skills through hands-on practice and observation, improving patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Education
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic fundoplication is a standard surgical treatment for gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD).
  • The complexity of laparoscopic procedures necessitates advanced surgical skills and experience.
  • Surgical complications are often linked to the surgeon's proficiency and experience level.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on a newly developed training course for laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication.
  • To enhance the practical skills and learning curve for surgeons performing this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • The training course incorporates essential laparoscopic surgical techniques, including suture knotting.
  • It provides practical experience using a porcine organ model for fundoplication simulation.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Participants observe a live laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication surgery in an operating room setting.

    • Main Results:

    • The training course effectively improves laparoscopic surgical skills through hands-on practice.
    • It contributes to a reduced learning curve for surgeons undertaking laparoscopic fundoplication.

    Conclusions:

    • A structured training program is crucial for mastering laparoscopic fundoplication.
    • This course offers a practical and effective method for surgical skill development in GERD treatment.
