Popis: Endoscopic Surgical Skill Qualification System by Japan Society for Endoscopic Surgery is implemented from 2004. Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (TAPP, TEP) is positioned as a low difficulty level operation under general surgery field in this system. An application qualification to the system demands the list of a specified operative cases, to participate in education seminars, and training of endoscopic surgery over 2 years after the Board Certified. A specified case quantity is the operative experience of above 5 examples of a high-difficulty level and 45 examples of a low difficulty level operation. Candidates submit 3 no edited videos of the endoscopic surgery performed for indirect hernia with the orifice above 1.5 cm in a male-sex. Which to examine among 3 videos is decided randomly by the society. Two hernia-specified referees examine one candidate. When both results don't agree, an extra referee will examine newly and fixes the result. An evaluation is estimated within 60 points of common standards and 40 points by an hernia. Equal to or more than 70 points in amount become a pass. Acceptance rate in hernia was 16% in 2021. The Nationwide Survey of Endoscopic Surgery reported recurrence rates of after laparoscopic hernia surgery as 5% in TEP in and 4% in TAPP in 2012–2013, 2.0% and 1.3% in 2018∼2019, what is improved beyond the period. It's no exaggeration to say that the Qualification System has played a big part. The Qualification System like no other in the world is to be introduced.
