Laparoscopic surgery, established in the 1980s, has become a primary treatment method across various surgical specialities due to its advantages over open surgery, including shorter recovery times and fewer complications. Mastery of laparoscopic skills is essential for novice and junior trainees, who must develop hand-eye coordination, depth perception, and instrument handling. This systematic review examines the learning curves of novices using box trainers compared to those using virtual reality (VR) simulators to attain proficiency in laparoscopic skills.
