Abstract
Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy is a technically challenging procedure that nevertheless can be learned quickly with rapid improvement in operative time and without undue risk to the patient. Since initially presenting these data in 2003, the senior residents are now getting twice the amount of exposure to this surgery. In addition, these data now include residents who were exposed to this type of surgery as junior residents. Although residents are beginning to have increased experience in performing laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy before their chief year, there is still a significant difference in operative time from the initial 2 procedures to the last 2 procedures completed by a chief resident.
