Brief Summary

There is no objective data on the outcome of a daylong workshop as commonly offered to the surgical residents by various institutions. Hence we planned a study with the objectives to determine if a one-day laparoscopic skills workshop enhanced the knowledge and skills of surgical residents in minimal access surgery and did the workshop scores have any correlation with the Direct Observation of Procedural Skills (DOPS) scores for the procedures performed in the real life. The results of our study shall indicate the impact of one-day laparoscopic skills workshop on the knowledge and psychomotor skills of the surgical residents. The skills gained from the workshop shall also be correlated with DOPS scores reflecting the transfer of skills to real life performance.
