BACKGROUND: Today laparoscopic approach is essential, but learning is usually expensive and very limited. Homemade and low equipment costs are required. We undertook this study to quantify how many hours of training are necessary for a surgeon without laparoscopic experience in order to acquire the abilities to carry out procedures as a staff member with laparoscopic experience. METHODS: A low-cost laparoscopic trainer was constructed. Four exercises of increasing difficulty have been developed. Five residents without laparoscopic experience and four experts developed the study. A satisfaction questionnaire was completed. Data were analyzed comparing the average times for the accomplishment of each exercise between groups. RESULTS: Data showed that the more difficult an exercise is, the more training is required. The average time needed to acquire similar skills as experts was almost 7 h of training spread over 4 months. The level of confidence for approaching a laparoscopic procedure for residents after completing the training was increased by 70%. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic training is essential in the formation of all surgeons and a reason why this low-cost and easily accessible method could become a basic tool for learning the first steps of the laparoscopic procedure.
