Abstract
Technical skill is one of the essential competencies of a surgeon, which was developed in clinical work according to traditional surgical training systems. While considering the patient safety, costs, time constraints and logistics, and the characteristic of laparoscopic surgery, training programs outside the operating room have been introduced and developed within the modern surgical educational systems. The basic skills should be mastered in laparoscopic surgery including depth perception, bimanual dexterity, and moving efficiency. In this chapter, we emphasize on detailing the training models and procedures designed to develop the above skills.
