 Continuous communication between the primary surgeon and assistants during laparoscopic surgery is essential. The primary surgeon is rarely in direct control of the laparoscope and visual field. The use of a standard vernacular during surgery to provide clear instructions across all surgical centers is currently not employed. As the theoretical benefits of this are clear, a national survey produced a lexicon of commands1. Despite making intuitive sense, there is presently no evidence to demonstrate a benefit from using this standardized language during laparoscopic surgery. We aim to show that in doing so, there will be a significant improvement in speed and efficiency when performing a complex laparoscopic task.
