How I Teach a Thoracoscopic Lobectomy
Abstract
As with all operative techniques, proficiency in performing VATS lobectomy is achieved with progressive and consistent experience. As the learner progresses from novice to experienced, he or she gains autonomy and require less instruction and assistance. It is critical that the instructor accurately perceives the learner’s level and needs, to reduce frustration and optimize the learning experience for both parties. Consistent exposure to VATS lobectomy at a high-volume center enables the learner to build on each experience and to progress most efficiently from novice to proficient.
