Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopic fundoplication is a key surgical method for treating hiatus hernia, but the role of camera assistance in these procedures has not been thoroughly studied.
- The study evaluated 20 laparoscopic fundoplications using the Structured Assessment of Laparoscopic Assistance Skills (SALAS) score to assess camera assistants' performance, finding that experienced assistants performed significantly better.
- The SALAS score effectively distinguishes between experienced and inexperienced camera assistants, potentially influencing surgical outcomes, though the correlation with operation time wasn't statistically significant.
