Interventions/Control_1

An interview with the operating surgeon will be conducted within two days after each TAPP procedure, during which the surgeon will be evaluated using the KUDAS-TAPP and GOALS-GH scales.
In the intervention group, in addition to the usual instruction provided at each institution, approximately 30 minutes of feedback will be delivered. The feedback will be provided by the interviewer using feedback materials developed based on the items of the KUDAS-TAPP.
A re-evaluation will be conducted for the next TAPP procedure performed at least six weeks after the feedback session, in order to assess the sustainability of the educational effect.

Interventions/Control_2

An interview with the operating surgeon will be conducted within two days after each TAPP procedure, during which the surgeon will be evaluated using the KUDAS-TAPP and GOALS-GH scales.
In the control group, no feedback will be provided; surgeons will continue to receive the standard instruction at their respective institutions.
After completion of the second interview, the control group will receive the same feedback session, and their subsequent operation will be evaluated in the same manner.
A re-evaluation will be conducted for the next TAPP procedure performed at least six weeks after the feedback session, in order to assess the sustainability of the educational effect.
