Techniques of Learning Laparoscopic Surgery

1. RESEARCH POSTER PRESENTATION DESIGN © 2012

Laparoscopic surgery (minimal
invasive surgery (MIS) or keyhole
surgery) is growing rapidly and
developing into other innovations,
such as robotic surgery and
endoscopic reflux surgery.1
Laparoscopic techniques education
has become very important, with
educators needing to integrate
virtual reality in laparoscopic
training. There is high-grade
evidence to suggest that virtual
reality simulators can support both
training and assessment in
laparoscopy. The surgeons and
registrars in NQ uses the different
laparoscopic training video to
obtained laparoscopic surgical
skills. However, the educational
impact of the virtual reality
training is not known.2,3
Background
To determine the educational value of the training video use for
teaching different techniques of laparoscopic surgery to surgeons and
registrars in North Queensland, Australia.
Objectives Results & Data Analysis
Result Of Factor Analysis is Used from
Likert using global score;
 Overall I learnt useful skill during this
video training
 Overall I gained useful knowledge during
the video training
 Overall I became better at problem
solving during the video training
 My surgical skills improve during the
video training
 I feel more confident in my laparoscopic
skills
 Limited space question would were
analysis .
 The information collected would
be collated and analyzed using
the Epi 6.0 statistical program.
 Validity would be determined by
factor analysis and correlation
with global ratings of
attachments

Knowledge and attitudes of North Queensland surgeons
and registrars around the different techniques for
teaching laparoscopic surgery.
The design for this project is a
simple descriptive study (using a
survey and interviews) of surgeons
and registrars from the private
system (Mater hospital) about their
knowledge and attitude toward a
laparoscopic training video.

Study design
Setting & participants
The participants would be
selected by purposive sampling ;
 100 general surgeons and
registrars in North Queensland
 Already undertaken training in
basic laparoscopic techniques
in years and had used video
training
 Completed surgical operations
up to 60 cases or 100 over two
years period
 performing various
Laparoscopic surgical
procedures
Data collection
 Head surgical unit contact & HR
 Approval of the ethic committee
 Questionnaire e-mail
 Explanation of the consent
process
 Introduction meeting at a clinical
meeting
 participant interview
Questionnaires
The survey will address the surgeon's demographic questions
 To derive information relating to age , gender, completion of
previous Surgical residency training and video training.
 Questions requiring: categorical responses, Likert scale
responses
 Qualitative approach to explore the views and experiences of
surgeons and registrar about the various training videos

Data Collection
The result will provide a feedback on the
validity of the training video there is a
positive score of attitude and knowledge
means the video having a positive impact
( educational value) from the global
score assement which is use to show all
factors and their correlation with overall
view of training video, supporting
construct validity
Out come ; reduce mortality rate.
