ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the function of specialized training course in training singleport laparoscopic skills.Methods The specialized training course for single-port laparoscopy included cutting rubber bands into‘Z’shape,cutting‘petaloid’folded slips and peeling oranges.Twelve residents were enrolled into traditional laparoscopy training for one week and then randomized into two groups6 trainees performed the specialized training course for 2 h daily and the others as the control group continued to practice the traditional course for 2 h daily.One week later,the trainees were tested on performing porcine single-port laparoscopic nephrectomy.Operation time and performance was compared.T test were performed using SAS 9.1.3 statistics software,and a P＜0.05 was considered to be statistical significance.Results Operation time of the specialized group was decreased significantly(59.2±17.3)min vs.(87.0±25.5)min,P=0.049,and the total global rating scale score increased significantly(26.3±2.2 vs 18.2±2.8,P=0.000 17).Conclusion The specialized course is beneficial to the training of single-port laparoscopic skills.
