Over the last two decades, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has become the mainstream method for the treatment of many abdominal diseases previously treated by open surgery. It has resulted in improvements in many outcomes during and after surgery. The Royal College of Surgeons of England has always played an active role in training both consultant surgeons and trainees in minimally invasive surgery with courses such as the Intercollegiate Basic Surgical Skills Courses (BSS) and laparoscopic cholecystectomy courses run in the College itself and in regional units. Laparoscopic surgery itself presents unique challenges that demand that courses be designed specifically with these in mind.
