“…Primary aim of day care surgery is to provide convenience to the patients by avoiding hospitalization, but patient's safety is the ultimate priority (1). The advantages of patient satisfaction and cost effectiveness were highly attractive to surgeons and hospital administrators (2,3). Although in some countries like the United-States or Canada the concept of day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy has already been widely accepted, with recent reports focusing less on feasibility but rather on the possibility to apply wider patients inclusion criteria, in Europe, the treatment of symptomatic cholelithiasis on an outpatient basis is still infrequent (4).…”

“…An endoscopic camera and long, narrow surgical tools are also inserted, after which the surgeon views the surgical field under high magnification in a video display and operates with minimal trauma to the patient. This minimally invasive surgery reduces blood loss, pain, and morbidity, lowers risk of infection, and speeds recovery (2)(3)(4)(5).…”

During the past few years, laparoscopy has become the gold standard for some surgical procedures and its applications continue to expand. Because of multiple factors such as loss of tactile perception, two-dimensional visualization of the three-dimensional surgical field, and demanding bimanual hand-eye coordination, special training is required to achieve proficiency with laparoscopy. In this study, as the first step toward evidence-based development of strategies to improve the quality of laparoscopy training from brain activity and behavior relationships, a laparoscopy training simulator was developed for use in functional MRI. Experiments confirmed the functional MRI compatibility of the device. Representative behavioral and functional MRI results for two subjects showed the feasibility of using this simulator to investigate the brain activation associated with components of laparoscopic task performance. To our knowledge, this is the first study that directly looks at the functional MRI brain activation during complex surgical training tasks. Magn Reson Med 65:873-881,

“…Another major breakthrough of the laparoscopic technique is that it can even be performed, in selective cases, as an outpatient procedure by highly skilled surgeons as was first described by Gill et al (2000). Ambulatory LA can be safe and feasible, when the required surgical and anaesthetic experiences are both available (Edwin et al 2001) and cost effective (Skattum et al 2004;Gagné et al 2007;Mohammad et al 2009). …”
