Article Synopsis
- This study assesses surgical residents' understanding of energy devices used in surgery, focusing on their operational principles and associated complications.
- A 16-question test based on the "Fundamental Use of Surgical Energy" program was administered online, with 108 residents participating and an average score of only 6.5 out of 16.
- Findings indicate that while overall knowledge is lacking, more experienced residents tend to answer more questions correctly, highlighting the need for improved training in this area.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), the most common mesenchymal tumors in the gastrointestinal tract, are increasingly treated with minimally invasive surgeries. Developed techniques include laparoscopic, endoscopic, and hybrid methods for gastric GIST resection. Our study, focusing on single-incision laparoscopic intragastric resection for gastric GISTs, aims to evaluate its safety, efficacy, and long-term outcomes.
