Abstract:
Veterinarians interested in adding minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to their surgical repertoire need a distinct set of skills. These MIS skills do not transfer from open surgery; they require specific training. Training based solely on practice in live patients becomes limited and inconsistent. In addition, ethical and cost issues arise when advanced procedures are practiced in live patients. This article discusses the Veterinary Applied Laparoscopic Training program, which provides simulation-based training for MIS.
