Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

29
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Minimally invasive surgery fellowship's role is debated with widespread laparoscopic adoption.
  • General surgery residents' training needs require evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine trends in open and laparoscopic surgery case volumes for general surgery residents over 20 years.
  • To identify the role of minimally invasive surgery fellowship in current surgical training.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewed Accreditation Data System from the American Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
  • Analyzed average case numbers for selected procedures from 2002 to 2022.
  • Utilized descriptive statistics and chi-squared tests for data comparison.

Main Results:

  • Residents met competency thresholds for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, colectomy, and inguinal hernia repair by 2022.
  • Observed a trend of increasing laparoscopic and decreasing open surgeries.
  • Certain procedures like common bile duct exploration and splenectomy remained infrequent.

Conclusions:

  • General surgery residents achieve good exposure to foundational laparoscopic procedures.
  • Minimally invasive surgery fellowship is essential for advanced laparoscopic training, including anti-reflux and bariatric surgery.
