A research team from Turkey has investigated the proficiency level reached in laparoscopic splenectomy using the learning curve method. They found that, unlike the widely accepted "L" shape, the learning curve for laparoscopic splenectomy was a horizontal lazy "S" with two distinct slopes. An improvement was observed after the first 5 cases. The learning curve was flat up to the 25th case.
