Medical Training AILaparoscopic Fundamentals
Work through the core mechanics of laparoscopic surgery, from OR setup through intracorporeal suturing, and check your reasoning against explained cases and questions.
What this track covers
This track covers the foundational skills of minimally invasive surgery: equipment and insufflation setup, port placement and triangulation, camera navigation, tissue handling, energy device selection, and basic-to-advanced intracorporeal suturing. It's built for clinicians who need a structured way to reinforce these principles alongside their operative training.
What you will practice
- Sequence an OR setup and insufflation check before trocar entry
- Choose port placement and triangulation for a given target anatomy
- Maintain camera horizon and coordinate scope movement with instrument hands
- Select grasping, retraction, and dissection technique to minimize tissue injury
- Match energy device type to tissue and proximity-to-structure considerations
Simulator scenario
A timed simulator case walking through trocar placement and initial camera navigation for a straightforward laparoscopic procedure, with a rubric scoring triangulation, horizon control, and instrument coordination.
Board question topics
- Pneumoperitoneum and insufflation safety
- Port placement and triangulation principles
- Energy device selection and injury avoidance
- Intracorporeal knot tying and suturing technique
