Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a new laparoscopic surgical instrument in teaching basic surgical skills to trainees at a military hospital in China over a 10-month period.
  • Fifty trainees were split into two groups: one using the conventional instruments and the other using the new instrument, and they underwent training in five specific surgical tasks.
  • Post-training results showed that both groups improved their completion times for each task, but the new instrument group had significantly shorter completion times compared to the conventional instrument group, indicating a more effective learning curve with the new tool.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of suture fixation of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) by hysteroscope for the treatment of adenomyosis in patients at high risk of device expulsion, to provide a viable treatment option for these patients.

Methods: Twenty-one patients with large symptomatic adenomyosis were sewed and fixed with the LNG-IUD in the uterus by hysteroscopy to prevent the device expulsion.

Results: In this prospective case series, all 21 patients were successfully sewed and fixed with the LNG-IUD in the uterus by hysteroscopy.
