To evaluate the importance of daily laparoscopic training using laparoscopic forceps to fold origami paper cranes (a traditional Japanese paper craft) and assess the performance of laparoscopic origami crane folding in an actual competition.
A competition, named the "Kaminote Challenge World Championship," was used to evaluate the effectiveness of training. The participants folded the paper cranes using laparoscopic forceps. The judges evaluated the speed at which the paper cranes were folded and the quality of the completed cranes, using objective criteria.
The competition was held twice, in 2022 and 2023, with 27 and 36 participants, respectively. The participants were surgeons, veterinarians, and students from Japan, Mexico, and Vietnam. The completion rate for folding a paper crane within seven minutes was 70.4% in 2022 (19/27) and 44.4% in 2023 (16/36). In the second competition, 75.0% (12/16) of the participants who completed the origami crane within seven minutes had practiced folding more than 1,000 cranes. Despite the competitive pressure, the top performers folded paper cranes with minimal deductions for quality and used the laparoscopic forceps precisely. The winners of the 1st prize in 2022 and 2023 completed the task in 2 min 46 s and 2 min 45 s, respectively, without any penalty.
Training by folding paper cranes using laparoscopic forceps is highly likely to lead to improved laparoscopic surgery skills. Such competitions may also be useful as an opportunity for individuals to demonstrate their forceps manipulation ability and maintain motivation.
评估使用腹腔镜镊子折叠折纸鹤（一种传统日本纸艺）进行日常腹腔镜训练的重要性，并在实际比赛中评估腹腔镜折纸鹤的表现。
采用名为“上之音挑战世界锦标赛”的比赛来评估训练效果。参与者使用腹腔镜镊子折叠纸鹤。评委使用客观标准评估折叠纸鹤的速度和完成后的纸鹤质量。
该比赛于2022年和2023年分别举办了两次，参与者分别有27名和36名。参与者包括来自日本、墨西哥和越南的外科医生、兽医和学生。2022年在7分钟内折好一只纸鹤的完成率为70.4%（19/27），2023年为44.4%（16/36）。在第二次比赛中，在7分钟内完成折纸鹤的参与者中有75.0%（12/16）练习折叠超过1000只纸鹤。尽管存在竞争压力，但表现最佳者折叠纸鹤时质量扣分最少，且精确使用腹腔镜镊子。2022年和2023年的一等奖获得者分别在2分46秒和2分45秒内完成任务，且无任何扣分。
使用腹腔镜镊子折叠纸鹤进行训练很可能会提高腹腔镜手术技能。此类比赛也可能作为个人展示镊子操作能力和保持动力的机会。
