Download or read book Tips and Techniques in Laparoscopic Surgery written by Jean-Louis Dulucq and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-11-02 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performing a surgical operation could be compared to na- gating inside the human body. Two essential requirements are necessary for a successful apprenticeship: ? A perfect understanding of the roadmap, the anatomy ? Regular training with expert surgeon teachers showing str- egies, tactics, manoeuvres, and gestures to make the journey safe, efficient and fast For decades this was the way taken by apprentice-surgeons and also by surgeons already in practice concerned about upd- ing their knowledge. For years their only travelling companions were books, drawings, and pictures. However, printed medium cannot satisfactorily and properly reproduce the movements of a manoeuvring surgeon. In open surgery, only the two first - sistants can precisely capture by direct vision what is happ- ing in the depth of the operating field. Therefore, the duration of apprenticeship is long and restricted to a small number of people per teacher. The introduction of movie cameras into the operating rooms improved the quality of surgical education. But filming in open surgery is not so easy. The cameraperson has to be well trained to catch good takes in the depth of a pit between the heads, shoulders, and fingers of the surgeon and assistants. Most of the time, those constraints disturb the op- ator’s manoeuvres, altering their pedagogical value. With the introduction of laparoscopic surgery (LS), using a video camera providing images in real time on a television screen, everything changed.
Download or read book Methods for laparoscopic instrument tracking and motion analysis for objective assessment of surgical technical skills written by Juan A. Sánchez-Margallo and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2015-03-19 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2014 in the subject Medicine - Biomedical Engineering, grade: Excellent "cum laude", , language: English, abstract: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has become in many surgical specialties and procedures the gold-standard choice due to its efficiency and benefits towards patient safety. However, the introduction of laparoscopic surgery has led to the need of developing new surgical skills different to those required for open surgery, with a significant learning curve to perform a safe laparoscopic surgery. Traditional subjective assessment methods of trainees are no longer adequate for surgical training. Reduced working hours as well as demands from surgeons and associations mean that more objective assessment tools that can accredit surgeons as technically competent are required. Evidence exists to validate motion analysis for laparoscopic technical skills assessment. Motion analysis of the laparoscopic instruments seeks to determine aspects that indicate the difference between surgeon's level of surgical dexterity. However, at the moment there is not an extended method to be used with current available training systems used in training laboratories as well as for the OR. The purpose of this book is to present the design, development and validation of three novel motion analysis methods focused on the use of real laparoscopic instruments during laparoscopic performance. These methods are based on computer vision techniques attempting to not interfere with the surgical practice. They are introduced in an evolutionary way from methods for exclusive use in a box trainer to solutions with the potential of being used in actual OR setting. Overall, this work corroborates the research hypothesis regarding the use of three different video-based tracking technologies for motion analysis of laparoscopic instruments, the use of instrument motion analysis for MIS technical skills assessment and the relationship between motion-related assessment metrics and quality of technical performance in laparoscopic training. These presented methods provide a tool to objectively assess MIS technical performance and a support to train novice surgeons in MIS techniques. The findings of this work encourage us to continue researching in improving these methods to be introduced as part of an actual laparoscopic training program, both inside and outside the OR.

Download or read book An Update to the Proficiency Benchmarks for Surgical Simulation Training in Laparoscopy at Oregon Health and Science University written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the field of medicine, especially surgery, progresses, new challenges in the training of physicians have emerged. While surgical education has been traditionally structured as an apprenticeship-based model, this has proven to be time consuming, costly, and unethical to patients, physicians, and medical institutions alike. One solution that has arisen due to the need for balancing safety with education is the usage of simulation-based training. Simulation has become an accepted and valued way of training physicians due to its assurance of safe, scheduled, targeted, and objective training for the learner, as well as safe and efficient clinical experiences for patients. Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU), along with every other accredited surgical residency program in the United States, has integrated a skills lab into their general surgery curriculum due to a 2008 mandate issued by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The surgical simulation skills lab at OHSU is titled VirtuOHSU. A core part of VirtuOHSU's curriculum involves the training of basic laparoscopic skills. As simulation-based training was established, there was not a clear development of a standardized training curriculum for laparoscopic surgery and thus there has been a significant gap in the discourse's understanding of what proficiency metric is considered adequate for laparoscopic surgery training. In 2008, the OHSU general surgery residency program adopted proficiency levels from a study done by Drs. E. Matt Ritter and Daniel J. Scott of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. For the past six years, VirtuOHSU has used these standards to evaluate their general surgery residents. The goal of this paper was to evaluate the validity of the standard used at VirtuOHSU. My research suggests, that due to the arbitrary nature of these standards, the current proficiency benchmarks are not an effective way of evaluating the skill level of surgical residents trained at OHSU. In July 2014, OHSU's Department of Surgery will adopt the ACGME Milestones Project and moving forward with this project it will be necessary to determine what is acceptable competency standards for laparoscopic surgery training. The results found, in the data collection part of this work, guided the creation of new laparoscopic proficiency benchmarks for each program year level of general surgery residents. In the future, the correlation between simulation skills lab performance and actual operative performance will be examined.
