TL;DR
The relative complexities for each procedure suggest an outline (map) for surgeons to use during laparoscopic colon surgery, and skills can be learned sequentially if patients are chosen judiciously.
Abstract
Since all procedures do not require all three skills, skills can be learned sequentially if patients are chosen judiciously. A sequence of laparoscopic procedures performed by surgeons is recommended. The relative complexities for each procedure suggest an outline (map) for surgeons to use during laparoscopic colon surgery.
