Intracorporeal suturing: Transfer from Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery to cadavers results in substantial increase in mental workload

摘要: Introduction A spatial secondary task developed by the authors was used to measure mental workload of participant when transferring suturing skills from a box simulator more realistic surgical conditions using fresh cadaver. We hypothesized that laparoscopic on genuine bowel would be challenging than Fundamentals Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS)-simulated as reflected in differences both and scores. Methods trained 14 assistant students FLS proficiency intracorporeal suturing. Participants practiced for 30 minutes then were tested cadaver spatial, dual-task authors. Results Suturing times increased >333% moving platform F(1,13) = 44.04, P Conclusion The associated with increases dramatically trainees transfer human tissue under increase is indexed an decrease ability attend task.
