TL;DR
A mirrored-box simulator was shown to provide a reasonable reflection of relative performance of laparoscopic skills and can be accomplished without the need for cumbersome equipment.
Abstract
A mirrored-box simulator was shown to provide a reasonable reflection of relative performance of laparoscopic skills. Practical, effective laparoscopic skills training and evaluation can be accomplished without the need for cumbersome equipment.

The introduction of clinical laparoscopic training into general surgery residency programs should influence the widespread adoption of this new procedure, which has the advantages of reduced hospital stay, early return to work, diminished abdominal wall scarring, and less patient discomfort.
