Background We hypothesized that differences in motion data during a simulated
laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVH) can be used to stratify top and lower tier performers …

Objective To describe the causes of intraoperative delays and the changes in delays and
surgical workflow with the level of training of the primary surgeon. Study design Prospective …

The surgical process remains elusive to many. This paper presents two independent
empirical investigations where psychomotor skill metrics were used to quantify elements of …

Background This study investigated the possibility of using virtual reality perceptual-motor
tasks as a screening tool for laparoscopic ability. We hypothesized that perceptual-motor …
