Using three-dimensional laparoscopy as a novel training tool for novice trainees compared with two-dimensional laparoscopy - 05/05/15
Abstract |
Background |
Laparoscopic skills training is an essential component of general surgery training. This study proposes the use of three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopy as the initial training tool for beginners to shorten the learning curve.
Methods |
This study evaluates the surgical performance and subjective experience of junior and senior trainees with 3D versus two-dimensional laparoscopy. Peg transfer task was used as the objective time measurement. A subjective evaluation of the 2 systems using a questionnaire was also used.
Results |
The mean difference in the juniors was 16.33 seconds, while in the seniors it was only 3.46 seconds (P = .036). The time difference between groups was much smaller in the 3D than the two-dimensional (P = .14 vs .02) laparoscopy. In the subjective evaluation, the novice group also scored significantly higher for the 3D system in the bimanual dexterity category (P = .004, .007).
Conclusion |
Our study demonstrates the feasibility of using 3D laparoscopy for laparoscopic skills training in novices.
