Funded Activity Summary

A structured training curriculum will be developed that can teach novice surgeons in key surgical and decision-making skills required for laparoscopic appendectomy surgery (key-hole removal of the appendix). An assessment tool that can quantitatively evaluate performance during a laparoscopic appendectomy will be developed. Using this, the ability of the developed training curriculum to improve the performance of trainee surgeons during actual laparoscopic appendectomy surgery will be evaluated.
