... of the incision sites. Currently, the most advanced form of this technique is robotic laparoscopic surgery, where a robot controlled by a surgeon. While very precise, this system is very expensive and requires special facilities, therefore, undesirable for smaller hospitals to implement. Thus, an intermediary...

... Abstract Laparoscopic surgery is a common minimally invasive procedure that is performed through small ports in the abdominal wall. The ports are created with tools called trocars that are used to inflate the abdominal cavity and are used as gateways for surgical tools. There is limited...

... Laparoscopic surgery is a common minimally invasive procedure typically used in intestinal surgery. Several small incisions are made to allow specialized instruments to be inserted and operated in an inflated abdomen. There is limited mobility in these procedures and additional training must be completed...

... Abstract Laparoscopic surgery has a notably high learning curve, hindering typical approaches to training. Due to unique challenges that are not present in open surgery (the hinge effect, small field of view (FoV), lack of depth perception, and small workspace), a surgical resident may...
