Benign Gynecologic Neoplasm
Conditions
Brief summary
The kind of equipment used during laparoscopic surgery may have an effect on how quickly resident surgeons improve their skills. The effects of these technologies on various general and specialized procedures have been the subject of numerous research, all of which have produced comparable results in terms of efficacy and safety. Although a minimally invasive laparoscopy represents the gold standard method in over 70% of procedures for uterine and adnexal benign diseases, there is a paucity of evidence regarding the potential advantages or disadvantages of such kinds of devices in gynecologic laparoscopy. Based on this, the purpose of this study was to determine whether using a hemostatic surgical device affects how quickly gynecology residents learn to execute simple laparoscopic procedures and how well they perform surgically.
