Abstract

The surgical theatre is a vital and intricate setting where time and resources are typically limited. Laparoscopic surgical procedures demand specific technical and analytical skills from operating room personnel, as there is a high chance of mistakes leading to potentially fatal repercussions in laparoscopic surgery [1]. The acquisition of complete, precise, and appropriate knowledge about linkage and interaction between human beings and laparoscopic equipment in operation theatre must be considered of utmost importance. To avoid difficulties during surgery, a surgeon must become familiar with this equipment and instruments [2].
