Abstract: to completion time, repetitions and errors.Statistical analysis done using T-test and Mann Whitney test. Results: Fifty completed the FLS tasks.There is no significant difference in the completion time between 2D and 3D participants with median of 247 and 216 minutes correspondingly.The median number of repetitions and errors were lower in the 3D vs. 2D; 108 vs.121 (P value < 0.05) and 27 vs.105 (P value < 0.05) respectively.Conclusion: 3D laparoscopy showed significant reduction in repetitions needed to perform laparoscopic tasks and lower errors as compared to the standard 2D laparoscopy.However; time spent to reach proficiency in performing FLS tasks was not significantly different between the 2D and 3D groups.
