ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the influence of experi-ence in laparoscopic conversions open to ab-dominal surgery in surgeons in the process of laparoscopy training.
Material and methods: In three surgeons with ‹ 5 years of surgical skills and three with 5 years or more of surgical skills, at 45 days (Point A) and 90 days (Point B) from training initiation laparoscopic conversions were quantified; likewise, surgical time, length of stay, and CO
2 consumption were measured and values between Point A and Point B were compared.
Results: At Point A, 30 patients had been operated on and at Point B, 35 additional patients had been operated on. Surgical time, length of stay, and CO
2 consumption between Points A and B were significantly reduced. As a whole, odds ratio (OR) for surgery conversions at point A was 2.95 (CI 95%: 0.90-9.90); however, if taking into account ‹ 5 years of surgical skills, OR for laparoscopic conversions at Point A was 3.33 (CI 95 %: 0.17-118), but at Point B, OR descended to 0.67 (CI 95 % 0.01-50.37).
Conclusions: Fewer than 5 years of surgical skills in a surgeon’s abdominal laparoscopy surgery training is a factor that appears to promote open abdominal surgery conversion occurrence.
