Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Education

Background:

  • Laparoscopic-guided cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery.
  • This procedure offers benefits such as reduced hospital stay, faster return to work, less scarring, and decreased patient discomfort.
  • The complexity and novelty of laparoscopic surgery limit traditional hands-on training methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a developed training program for surgeons and residents in laparoscopic surgery techniques.
  • To outline a structured educational approach for acquiring technical competence in laparoscopic procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Didactic instruction using surgical atlases and videos.
  • Simulation training for suturing, knot-tying, and clip application.
  • Supervised operative experience in animal models (swine gallbladder removal) and assisting in clinical procedures.

Main Results:

  • The training program ensures technical competence through supervised practice and progressive experience.
  • Surgeons in practice and residents receive tailored training to adapt to laparoscopic techniques.
  • Animal model training closely mimics operating room conditions for gallbladder removal.

Conclusions:

  • The developed training program effectively instructs surgeons and residents in laparoscopic surgery.
  • Implementing this clinical laparoscopic training is expected to increase the adoption of this surgical approach.
  • Structured training is crucial for mastering complex minimally invasive procedures.
