Evaluating the Role of SURGical TElementoring in Acquisition of Surgical Skills of Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. SURGTEACH Trial

The intervention group receives intraoperative guidance by telementoring. The telementor is remotely located but able to see the real-time footage of the ongoing procedure and simultaneously verbally communicate with the operating resident wearing a headset during surgery. Additionally, feedback by telestration may be given to the operating resident if required. This involves graphic annotations on a still picture of the ongoing surgery which the telementor may design if required.
