Purpose: For many gynecologic surgeries, laparoscopy is well established and widely performed. In Japan, the gynecologic laparoscopy board certification program ensures surgical quality and safety. In our department, fellows experience many laparoscopic surgeries. To improve our laparoscopic educational program, we performed a questionnaire survey for laparoscopists and fellows to obtain detailed opinions.
Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted for 26 laparoscopists and 29 fellows at the department of obstetrics and gynecology of Yokohama City University.
Results: A total of 44 out of 55 questionnaires were collected. Laparoscopists and fellows prioritized the experience in a high number of operative cases. Certified laparoscopists also considered the mental attitude as important. For improving surgical skills, fellows focused on technical trainings, whereas laparoscopists also indicated practical trainings, such as watching surgical procedures and videos.
Conclusion: To improve the educational program, obtaining and sharing opinions from laparoscopists and fellows is important.
