Goal:
Present and analyze the implementation of laparoscopic teaching program at the Surgical School of Paris, introduced in 2008.
Material And Methods:
Evaluation of the technical capacities of 43 students in six basic tests after four, one and a half hour training sessions with a pelvic-trainer.
Results:
The time necessary to perform an intracorporeal knot improved significantly by 56% after four sessions. Overall, 89% of students progressed and mastered the basic skills. Asked about their formation, 74% of the students thought their training in laparoscopy was insufficient.
Conclusion:
The pelvic-trainer is an accessible and reliable tool for training of young residents in laparoscopy. Use of the pelvic-trainer must be promoted among young residents during their training.
