About

Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) is a common surgery in the surgical trainees. However, there is no assessment system to measuring the surgical skill of surgical trainees. The novel surgical assessment system, which called Japanese Operative Rating Scale for Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy (JORS-LDG) by the task analysis and the Delphi method have been developed. This study describes assessing the development of surgical skill by JORS-LDG in the initial experience of LDG.
