In primary emergencies, only 28,7% of participants declared the use of laparoscopy in more than 50% of times. Personal confidence with minimally invasive techniques was the highest for appendectomy and cholecystectomy. At multivariate ordinal regression, a longer professional experience, the use of laparoscopy in major elective surgery and bariatric surgery expertise were related to a higher use of laparoscopy in emergency surgery. Conclusions: The survey shows that minimally invasive techniques in emergency surgery are still underutilized. Greater focus should be placed on the development of dedicated training in laparoscopy among emergency surgeons.]]> Tue 07 Nov 2023 15:20:38 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52278 Mon 09 Oct 2023 10:02:36 AEDT ]]>
