The pelvitrainer for training in laparoscopic surgery - A prospective, multicenter, interdisciplinary study: Experimental research.

Background: Minimally invasive surgical procedures have a flat learning curve, especially in the initial period of a surgeon's training. Pelvitrainers enable the prospective surgeon to drill the surgical technique, including camera navigation, instrument manipulation, and the individual steps of the operation, on a model rather than a patient. Integrating the pelvitrainer into standardized surgical training programs is challenging, but would be essential to achieve optimum effects of long duration in surgical education.
