| Abstract |
Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGBP) is the most effective surgical therapy for morbid obesity. It is an advanced laparoscopic surgical procedure and has a protracted learning curve. Therefore, it is important to develop innovative ways of training and assessing surgeons. The aim of this study is to determine if a cadaveric porcine jejuno-jejunostomy model is an accurate way of assessing a surgeon's technical skills by determining if a correlation exists with how he performs in the operating room. |
