Abstract
Resident level does not affect the operating time in performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The pathologic acuity of the gallbladders was distributed similarly for all three groups. There was a difference in mean operating time based on pathologic acuity. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be performed in a safe and efficient manner at a teaching institution.

The American Journal of SurgeryThe financial impact of teaching surgical residents in the operating room
801 Citations1999Matthew Bridges, Daniel L. Diamond
The annual cost of training surgical residents in the operating room is $53 million, which suggests the need for digital skills, selection criteria, the development of training curriculum and resource facilities, the pre-operating room need for suturing and stapling techniques, and perhaps the acquisition of virtual surgery training modules.

There has been early progress that should encourage surgeons to incorporate computer simulation into the surgical curriculum, and computer-based training in technical skills has the potential to solve many of the educational, economic, ethical, and patient safety issues related to learning to perform operations.

Laroscopic cholecystectomy for acute choleCystitis should be done immediately after the diagnosis is established because delaying surgery allows inflammation to become more intense, thus increasing the technical difficulty of laparoscopic CholecyStectomy.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has matured into a more efficient operation, yet remains safe with low morbidity when performed by residents at an academic institution, even though most procedures are currently performed byResidents, and fewer LCs are being done.

It is concluded that the performance of difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy by residents with the assistance of attending surgeons is feasible, but carries a higher conversion rate to laparotomy for reasons that are not entirely clear.

It is the conclusion that graduating chief residents with 5 years' exposure to LC may perform the procedure with a complication rate comparable to that reported in the current literature.

It is suggested that the decrease in the number of OCs is not a drawback and that it is possible to acquire an adequate knowledge of biliary anatomy and surgery from LC training, if strict proctoring criteria are respected.
