Comparing self-assessment of laparoscopic technical skills with expert opinion for gynecological surgeons in an operative setting

ConclusionSelf-assessment of surgical laparoscopic skills is higher than expert evaluation of these technical skills. Quality assurance measures need to be revisited and restructured through more frequent assessments using peer and expert assessment alongside self-assessment. Gynecologists also need to undergo proper assessment prior to starting independently performing procedures that require new skills.
