Impact of Preoperative Warm-Up on Surgical Performance of Resident Physicians: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Preoperative warm-up using a training box significantly improved the qualitative and quantitative surgical performance of general surgery residents with no prior laparoscopic experience, particularly by increasing efficiency in cholecystectomy and reducing dissection times in both cholecystectomy and left radical nephrectomy.
