Objective:
High costs, lack of realism, and poor participant utilization are inherent shortcomings in simulators used for laparoscopic skill training. The use of video games, which can offer engaging and entertaining properties, could change the way surgeons and surgical residents learn and perform. Underground, a video game for the Nintendo Wii U video game console was designed to simulate laparoscopic tasks through innovative controllers that simulate laparoscopic graspers. This abstract pr
We started laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy (LAG) for gastric cancer in 2012. As a result of improved educational method during the 3 periods (period: 1. 2. 3), operation time was significantly reduced. We report our educational method for LAG. (Methods) Operator of the every cases was qualified surgeon of japan society for endoscopic surgery. First assistant doctor was secured during 3 period. Period1: 5 cases of first introduction. Operator educates assistant doctor during operation. Period2:
INTRODUCTION – Usual video systems for endoscopic surgery provide the surgeon a two-dimensional image (2D). This study aimed to evaluate performances of a three-dimensional (3D) video system compared with 2D system on the simulation for single-port surgery training.
METHODS AND PROCEDURES – We conducted a simulation program for single port endoscopic surgery using 2D and 3D high definition system. The program included three basic surgical tasks; 1) ring transfer, 2) needle passing through 3-m
Introduction
It is widely acknowledged that prior to being a good surgeon it is necessary to learn the skills of surgical assistance, and that the degree of difficulty of an operation can be largely dependent on the ability of the assistant. The aim of this study was to determine the necessary assistance skills and to develop an assessment tool that could be used to map trainees’ progress, and also to guide feedback on their performance.

Introduction
Laparoscopic simulation-based training has been focused on surgical skills training. The purpose of this study was to identify and categorize the explicit directional instructions made by attending surgeons to their residents in the OR in order to make recommendations for further simulation systems design. We hypothesize that OR-based laparoscopic surgery training is focused more on instructing residents in how to use the laparoscope and view the laparoscopic video.
