Abstract

Learning lapa­roscopic surgical techniques was a haphazard affair for many surgeons. In the early days of laparoscopy, every­body was convinced of the value of this technique, but as it was actually becoming implemented, there were problems in a couple of regards: (1) A huge group of sur­geons required training, as did residents, in an environ­ment where not a lot of teachers were available and (2) surgeons were being trained through industry-funded courses that were highly variable in terms of their for­mat. Operative laparoscopy is an evolving field. Surgeons are new to this field and are still in the process of acquiring and polishing their surgical skills. Anything new poses challenging problems and only time and experience can help one overcome them. With the improved laparoscopic instruments and energy devices, laparoscopy has become increasingly popular among surgeons. The advent of the laparoscopic revolution and the wider applicability of laparoscopic procedures have caused surgeons to re-think the dynamics of intraoperative problem. The problems of operation room set up is the important and the reviews the ergonomic difficulties experienced by laparoscopic surgeons and presents practical solutions.
