Experts in Minimally Invasive Surgery are Outperformed by Trained Novices on Suturing Skills

Learning minimally invasive suturing can be challenging, creating a barrier to further implementation, especially with the development of easier methods. Nevertheless, mastering intracorporeal knot tying is crucial when alternative techniques prove inadequate. Therefore, the minimally invasive surgery (MIS) suturing skills of MIS experts are compared with a group of novices during their learning curve on a simulator.
