Popis: Pediatric surgeons require highly advanced skills when performing endoscopic surgery; however, their experience is often limited in comparison to general surgeons. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of endoscopic surgery training for less-experienced pediatric surgeons and then compare their skills before and after training. Young pediatric surgeons (n = 7) who participated in this study underwent a 2-day endoscopic skill training program, consisting of lectures, box training and live tissue training. The trainees performed the Nissen construction tasks before and after training using our objective evaluation system. A statistical analysis was conducted using the two-tailed paired Student’s t tests. The time for task was 984 ± 220 s before training and 645 ± 92.8 s after training (p
