INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES
Laparoscopy training is one of the main parts of urology residents’ and beginners’ education. After training box processes and animal laboratory, laparoscopic renal cyst decortication is accepted preliminary procedure for beginners. For this preliminary procedure we would like to discuss which one of the following monitor systems is better: glasses- based 3D full HD monitor systems or just full HD monitor system for the benefit of both patients and residents.
METHODS
We have performed 4 laparoscopic cyst decortication operations using glasses-based 3D full HD monitor system and just full HD monitor system; one trans-peritoneal and three retro-peritoneal. To understand which monitor system is better for beginners we observed the eye-hand coordination of trainer and complications of operations. All operations were under the close-control of an experienced surgeon. We used same laparoscopic working instruments for all operations.
RESULTS
Eye-hand coordination was better in 3D full HD monitor system according to the responsible experienced surgeon. No complications were noted in any operation. All urethral catheters were removed 12 hours later after operations. All drains were removed 24 hours later after operations. All patients were discharged first or second postoperative days.
CONCLUSIONS
As a result of 3D images eye-hand coordination is improved, learning curve in training residents is accelerated and adaptation to the retro-peritoneal or trans-peritoneal anatomy is facilitated compared to operations using 2D full HD monitor system. For residents and beginners it is safe and effective way to start laparoscopy training with glasses-based 3D full HD monitor system following laparoscopic training boxes and animal laboratory trainings.
