Background: Laparoscopic surgery demands high precision and skill, necessitating effective
training protocols that account for factors such as hand dominance. This study investigates …

Over the past few decades, surgeon training has changed dramatically. Surgical skills are
now taught in a surgical skills laboratory instead of the operating room. Simulation-based …

The traditional surgical apprenticeship model of “see one, do one, teach one” that was
standardized by Halsted more than a century ago is still in effect in residency programs …

Background Better understanding of the brain regions involved in performing laparoscopic
surgery is likely to provide important insights for improving laparoscopic training and …

Aims Excellent surgical technical skills are of paramount importance to perform surgical
procedures, safely and efficiently. Virtual reality surgical simulators can both simulate real …

This study investigated how the ergonomic factors, such as hand dominance and postural
selection, influenced on surgical performance regarding the changes of muscle activity …

Background Laparoscopic surgery requires operators to learn novel complex movement
patterns. However, our understanding of how best to train surgeons' motor skills is …

Objective This study explored the use of electroencephalogram (EEG) and eye gaze
features, experience-related features, and machine learning to evaluate performance and …

Objective To overcome limitations of open surgery artificial intelligence (AI) models by
curating the largest collection of annotated videos and to leverage this AI-ready data set to …

Purpose To test the hypothesis that machine learning algorithms increase the predictive
power to classify surgical expertise using surgeons' hand motion patterns. Method In 2012 at …
