Summary

More than 50 residents in surgical specialities (OB\&G, General surgery and Urology) from a single university in Italy will be randomized into two groups, after a stratification based on residency year and laparoscopic/simulator experience. The first one will train to FLS (fundamentals of laparoscopic surgery) following pre-recorded instruction from course materials; the second one will be mentored by a proctor in single training section. The aim is to evaluate the best way to train residents applying for the very first time in an extensive way the "fundamentals of laparoscopic surgery" program in an Italian Institution.
