Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) are gaining the momentum of mini-invasive surgery, but many technical problems remain to be solved; difficulties in learning the technique hamper its popularization. A satisfactory training system can greatly promote the development of the new technique. In this paper, we introduce the current status of training for LESS and NOTES, and also introduce some valuable experience in our training courses.
