Popis: Background Training programmes for obstetrics and gynaecology (O&G) and general surgery (GS) vary significantly, but both require proficiency in laparoscopic skills. We sought to determine performance in each specialty.Design Prospective, observational study.Setting Health Education England North-West, UK.Participants 47 surgical trainees (24 O&G and 23 GS) were subdivided into four groups: 11 junior O&G, 13 senior O&G, 11 junior GS and 12 senior GS trainees.Objectives Trainees were tested on four simulated laparoscopic tasks: laparoscopic camera navigation (LCN), hand–eye coordination (HEC), bimanual coordination (BMC) and suturing with intracorporeal knot tying (suturing).Results O&G trainees completed LCN (p
