PLAYING TO YOUR SKILLS: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL EVALUATING A DEDICATED VIDEO-GAME FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY
Cuan M Harrington, Vishwa Chaitanya, Patrick Dicker, Oscar Traynor, Dara Kavanagh. Royal College of Surgeons in IrelandBackground: Video-gaming demands elements of visual attention, hand-eye coordination and depth perception which may be contiguous with laparoscopic skill development. General video gaming has demonstrated altered cortical-plasticity and improved baseline/acquisition of minimally invasive skills. The present study aimed to… Continue Reading
