Abstract

GARCIA, Guihovany Alberto et al. Change of the educational paradigm in the teaching of laparoscopic surgery. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2017, vol.32, n.1, pp.40-44. ISSN 2011-7582.  https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.6.

The development of minimally invasive surgery in the last 50 years has produced a significant increase in laparoscopic and robotic surgery, which requires specific knowledge and skills. To achieve 21st century surgical training, traditional educational programs require changes, not only in the processes necessary for the development of increasingly complex surgical skills, but also the ethical, patient safety, medical - legal, meaningful learning, and cost – effectiveness issues should be considered. This article discusses the importance of laparoscopic surgery rotations and approaches how to implement them.
