Journal of Endourology, 2007
To reduce the complication rate associated with laparoscopic surgery and to improve training, several simulators have been incorporated into training curricula and skills courses. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages and compare the different types of simulators available. We also reviewed the literature to assess the acquisition of skills using

Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2005
Transvaginal laparoscopy (TvL) offers an alternative to standard diagnostic laparoscopy in subfertile patients without obvious pelvic pathology. With a specially developed needle-trocar system, access to the pouch of Douglas is gained through a needle puncture of the posterior fornix.

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1980
It has been the purpose of this presentation to detail a safe technique for performance of laparoscopy. Emphasis has also been placed on potentially serious complications and how they can be avoided. This procedure employs highly technical equipment, and the surgeon should have formal training in the technique.

Endoscopy, 1992
Diagnostic laparoscopy continues to play an important role in the accurate evaluation of patients with abdominal disorders. Combined with laparoscopic ultrasound, it is highly accurate in the staging of intra-abdominal malignancies, and it is superior to transcutaneous ultrasonography and computed tomography.

Surgical Innovation, 2002
Diagnostic laparoscopy is a powerful tool in the surgeon's armamentarium when used appropriately. There is a low complication rate and high diagnostic sensitivity. In addition to conventional operating room procedures, this technique can be applied in a variety of other settings, often without general anesthesia.

Der Chirurg, 1997
The so-called extended diagnostic laparoscopy (EDL) facilitates the comprehensive exploration of the abdominal cavity, thus improving the precision of the pretherapeutic tumor staging in gastrointestinal malignancies. EDL comprises visual inspection with a specific preparation of all relevant sites, laparoscopic sonography and retrieval of samples for ...

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1998
Laparoscopy has been shown to be a safe and effective method to establish or rule out a diagnosis in difficult clinical situations and, in selected cases, provide minimally invasive access for therapeutic procedures. Relevant indications for diagnostic laparoscopy in the pediatric population include evaluation of a contralateral patent processus ...
