Training in laparoscopic surgery: From the lab to the or

Abstract

Training in laparoscopic gynaecological surgery is challenged by the boundaries of the traditional apprentice-tutor model and the ethical objective of limiting the complication rates.

Gynaecological Endoscopic Surgical Education and Assessment. A diploma programme in gynaecological endoscopic surgery

“…This programme provides training in endoscopic procedures with built-in safety and the best possible surgical outcome. GESEA criteria increase the quality of the one-to-one clinical training programme in endoscopic procedures for all stakeholders [17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

“…The result of an exercise is expressed in time to correct performed exercise [18]. Construct, content and face validity of those exercises have been published [30,31].…”

“…In the first stage, a skill certificate on theoretical knowledge and specific practical psychomotor skills is acquired through a high-stake exam; in the second stage, a clinical programme is completed to achieve surgical competence and receive the corresponding diploma ( Fig. 1) [17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

“…The Master level is sub-divided into two separate diplomas: the Master in Laparoscopic Pelvic Surgery and the Master in Hysteroscopy (Fig. 2) [17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

Should medical students be given laparoscopic training?

“…In order to deliver a structured training programme, it is necessary to have an evidence-based curriculum. The European Society of Gynaecological Surgery (ESGE) has, in collaboration with the European Academy of Gynaecological Surgery, developed such a curriculum [12][13][14][15]. The full programme is called Gynaecological Endoscopic Surgical Education and Assessment (GESEA, www.esge.org/education/guidlines/ gesea).…”
