TL;DR
The sequential progression from TULAA to CTPLA to TSLA to CTPLA to TSLA provides a data-driven framework for structured laparoscopic training in pediatric surgery.
Background/Objectives: The evolution of minimally invasive techniques has established advanced laparoscopic skills as an increasingly essential component of surgical curricula. However, the feasibility of senior residents performing technically demanding procedures such as Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery (LCS) remains...
