[Laparoscopy: obstacle or revolution in the development of surgery?].
Laparoscopy is a new fascinating technique. However, after the first wave of enthusiasm, laparoscopy currently raises different problems related with surgical training. A national survey concerning laparoscopy and its teaching was sent to every surgeon-in-chief, chief resident and resident of all Swiss teaching hospitals. Surgical training is nowadays an important problem in Switzerland. Our survey revealed that laparoscopy intensifies this problem: a specific training in laparoscopy is desired by all surgeons and has to take place in the Swiss Board of Surgery (FMH). A preliminary experience of conventional surgery is desirable. Then a laparoscopic training should start on experimental certified models and be applied progressively on patients in attendance with a trained surgeon.
