Abstract

Background: Minimally Invasive Surgery has revolutionized the surgical practice for the last years but it presents specific training processes. At the same time, e-Learning platforms and multimedia contents are now having great success within teaching processes in different fields. Purpose: to determine perception of surgeons towards e-MIS: e-Learning and multimedia contents for minimally invasive surgery. Methods: A 19-item online survey was sent. Statistical and descriptive analyses were performed. Results: 307 surgeons responded to the survey. 99% of participants agree to include new technologies in surgical learning and 99.3% consider surgical videos as a good training tool. Conclusion: The widespread use and capabilities of e-Learning together with the use of surgical videos within the surgical learning process makes possible creating new technological systems and tools that address current problems in surgical training derived from time constraints and patient safety concerns.
