Background: Minimally invasive surgical procedures have a flat learning curve, especially in the initial period of a surgeon's training. Pelvitrainers enable the prospective surgeon to drill the surgical technique, including camera navigation, instrument manipulation, and the individual steps of the operation, on a model rather than a patient. Integrating the pelvitrainer into standardized surgical training programs is challenging, but would be essential to achieve optimum effects of long duration in surgical education.

Purpose: Educational training of laparoscopic skills performed on body donors is considered the gold standard prior to surgery in living patients. Appropriate, safe, and feasible fixation of body donors, reflecting true-to-life conditions of tissues, is an essential prerequisite for training workshops.
Materials And Methods: Here we describe and evaluate a modified ethanol-glycerol-lysoformin-based fixation technique.
In situ localization of tumor cells associated with the epithelial-mesenchymal transition marker Snail and the prognostic impact of lymphocytes in the tumor microenvironment in invasive ductal breast cancer.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on tumor surgery in breast cancer, highlighting the challenge of removing all tumor cells, particularly at the invasion front, where cells undergo a change that aids in invasion.
- The research analyzed tissue from 352 breast cancer patients, looking for the EMT factor Snail and different immune cells (FoxP3, CD3, and CD8) in the tumor environment.
- Findings indicate that higher levels of Snail correlate with better survival rates, and the presence of FoxP3 is particularly linked to improved outcomes, suggesting these could be important prognostic markers in breast cancer.
2D Versus 3D in Laparoscopic Surgery by Beginners and Experts: A Randomized Controlled Trial on a Pelvitrainer in Objectively Graded Surgical Steps.

Background And Objective: Progress in endoscopic surgery in the past few decades has led to the application of 3-dimensional (3D) procedures in operating rooms. This permits patient- and surgeon-friendly operations and also maximizes the superiority of laparoscopy over laparotomy. In this study, we compare 2-dimensional (2D) and 3D endoscopy techniques with regard to time, efficiency, optics, and handling by users with different degrees of experience at 4 difficulty levels.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kiel School of Gynecological Endoscopy, University Hospitals Schleswig-Holstein, Kiel, Germany.
Objective: To investigate trends in the performance of hysterectomy at a single certified endoscopic teaching center.
Methods: Data were collected retrospectively from 953 patients who underwent hysterectomy between 2002 and 2010 for benign indications at UKSH, Germany. Preoperative risk scores were assigned to patients.
