Abstract
New teaching programs in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) require mentoring. We see that once a new MIS procedure has been validated by evidence, we can expect many surgical teams wanting to adopt the new procedure. The issue is how doing this according to best standards of practice is best learned. Commonly, the teaching programs in MIS may range from the institutionalized programs involved in the residency period to the quick one-or-two-days courses organized by Surgical Departments or companies targeting (young) surgeons desirous but still unable to operate by the new MIS approaches. While these opportunities offer interesting displays of new MIS, yet effective teaching programs in MIS developments are very variable and ad hoc.
