TEACHING MODEL FOR EVALUATION OF THE ABILITY AND COMPETENCE PROGRESS IN ENDOSUTURE IN SURGICAL SKILL LABORATORY.

Background: Laparoscopic manual suturing is probably the most difficult skill to be acquired in minimally invasive surgery. However, laparoscopic exercise endo-sutures can be learned with a simulator and are of great practical importance and clinical applicability, absorbing concepts that are immediately transferred to the operating room.

Aim: To assess the progression of skills competence in endo-sutures through realistic simulation model of systematized education.
