Assessment of laparoscopic surgery practice, knowledge, and training goals in Liberia: A mixed‐methods study among Liberian surgeons
This is the first mixed-methods study assessing laparoscopy in Liberia. Our sample, though small, comprised approximately 60% of Liberian surgeons in both rural and urban hospitals. Findings demonstrated limited experience, variable knowledge, and high desires for training, showing feasibility for laparoscopy implementation in Liberia.
