Introduction Laparoscopic surgery requires a different and sometimes more complex skill set
than does open surgery. Shortened working hours, less training times, and patient safety …

OBJECTIVES To provide a systematic overview of the literature assessing the value of
haptic and force feedback in current simulators teaching laparoscopic surgical skills. DATA …

Background and objective: Virtual reality (VR) simulators enrich surgical training and offer
training possibilities outside of the operating room (OR). In this study, we created a criterion …

Background To improve patient safety, training of psychomotor laparoscopic skills is often
done on virtual reality (VR) simulators outside the operating room. Haptic sensations have …

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy is the standard surgical procedure used to remove large
kidney stones. PCNL procedures have a steep learning curve; a physician needs to …

Simulation-based training has been widely used in medical education. More specifically,
various systems for minimally invasive surgery training have been proposed in the past two …

Background: The study investigated whether 3D vision and haptic feedback in combination
in a virtual reality environment leads to more efficient learning of laparoscopic skills in …

Background Laparoscopy requires specific psychomotor skills and can be challenging to
learn. Most proficiency-based laparoscopic training programs have used non-haptic virtual …

Introduction: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) suturing demands advanced surgical skills.
Therefore, it is important these skills are adequately trained and assessed. Assessment and …

Objective To investigate how simulator training and non‐technical factors affect laparoscopic
performance among residents in obstetrics and gynecology. Design In this prospective …
