Abstract

Training and objective assessment of surgical competence receives more and more attention from society and medical communities, and is an ongoing research challenge. For obvious reasons of patient safety, ethics, and cost-effectiveness, there is a need to shift the training and assessment from the operating theatre to a simulated environment (e.g. skills lab). This paper presents the state of the art on training and assessment of surgical skills in minimally invasive surgery, and discusses remaining challenges.
