Weathering the storm: how can thoracic surgery training programs meet the new challenges in the era of less-invasive technologies?

30 May 2009 OBJECTIVE: The introduction of new technologies has shifted some resident index procedures to nonsurgical specialists. We examined the operative case volume of thoracic surgery residents during the last 6 years to objectively identify changes and ... Read more...

Position paper on laparoscopic antireflux operations in infants and children for gastroesophageal reflux disease. American Pediatric Surgery Association.

29 Apr 2009 The use of the laparoscopic approach to perform antireflux procedures has increased dramatically since its introduction in 1991. To date, no prospective randomized studies comparing open surgery to the minimal invasive approach in children have been ... Read more...

Perception and use of minimal access surgery simulators in pediatric surgery training programs.

29 Apr 2009 BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: In the current time-restricted training environment, simulator use in surgical teaching is receiving increasing attention. A large body of literature addresses simulators' effectiveness in surgical education. No prior studies ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Surgical Procedures, Minimally Invasive'

Definition: Procedures that avoid use of open invasive surgery in favor of closed or local surgery. These generally involve use of laparoscopic devices and remote-control manipulation of instruments with indirect observation of the surgical field through an endoscope or similar device. With the reduced trauma associated with minimally invasive surgery, long hospital stays may be reduced with increased rates of short stay or day surgery.
