Top Gun Booth
#135ab
The Top Gun Laparoscopic Skills Shoot-Out is an event that combines fun,
excitement and entertainment along with competition, perseverance and SWEAT!
The concept that Dr. Rosser originated at the Yale University School of
Medicine is designed to provide the ultimate arena for the residents to
demonstrate their laparoscopic skill development while promoting friendly
competition between academic education centers. Four years of development have
been devoted to create a series of drills that are associated with the
acquisition of a clinically related task (intracorporeal suturing). A database
of thousands of surgeons has been collected that enables the objective
comparison of participants with their peers. These drills and suturing
exercises are specifically designed to challenge each surgeon's level of skill
in performing tasks in the laparoscopic arena. Additionally these exercises aid
in increasing the effectiveness of the non-dominant hand, maturing depth
perception compensations, increased instrument accuracy and promoting the
effective choreagraphed movements of both hands. Top Gun has been featured at
the American College of Surgeons since 1996 and is now part of SLS and SAGES as
well.
