Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is revolutionary skill of surgical operation for a surgeon. Minimally invasive surgery which is specialized operationuses miniature cameras with microscopes, tiny fiber-optic flashlights and high definition monitors through small incisions.Patients leave the hospital sooner after minimally invasive surgery because MIS make patients less trauma to their bodies. However, it is difficult for surgeons to learn the skill especially in first-year resident surgeons. Moreover, they have to practice the high-level skill in animals. The action which costs lots of cash for hospitalis cruel to animals.In order to reduce casualty and save money, this study uses game-based learning to help resident surgeonsto learn the procedure of MIS.
