Abstract
Over the last two decades, minimal access surgery (MAS) has become an indispensable alternative to conventional open surgery. Nowadays many surgical techniques are developing in MAS and many surgeons feel compelled learn these procedures. Appropriate training and education are therefore essential, but, time, monetary and geographical constraints of many surgeons often limit opportunities to gain new surgical knowledge, skills and techniques.
