- Abstract
The psychomotor challenges inherent in laparoscopic surgery are evident by the steep procedural "learning curves" documented throughout the literature. Few methods have been described to evaluate learning curves. The cumulative summation (CUSUM) method is a criterion-based evaluation of the learning process. The purpose of this study is to describe the CUSUM learning curves for a simple task for individuals and for a group of novice laparoscopists.
