Development of a comprehensive educational program forLaparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair and a randomized controlled trail for IncisionalHernia after abdomal surgery to Increase the safe and effectiv
Compared to “open” surgery, laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair done with 3 small incisions in the
abdominal wall, is associated with less pain and quicker recovery. Many surgeons are not comfortable
performing this operation since it can be challenging to learn. The purpose of this research program
is 1) to describe the practice patterns of surgeons and residents and to understand what their
educational needs are, 2) to develop educational programs of both knowledge and skill to ensure that
surgeons are competent, 3) to implement programs in regular surgical trainaing, 4) to evaluate the
impact of the educational programs by measuring performance in the operating room and patient
outcomes. We intend to perform a pilot study to analyze the incidence of incisional hernia one year
after laparoscopic colon resection using midline or transverse extraction incision. Covidien Inc.,
produces laparoscopic devices. It will benefit from this project by obtaining direct, relevant and
insightful information and feedback from users about the latest laparoscopic…………………TOBECONTINUED
