Surgical skill analysis focused on tissue traction in laparoscopic wet lab training.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tissue handling is one of the pivotal parts of surgical procedures. We aimed to elucidate the characteristics of experts' left-hand during laparoscopic tissue dissection.

Methods

Participants performed tissue dissection around the porcine aorta. The grasping force/point of the grasping forceps were measured using custom-made sensor forceps, and the forceps location was also recorded by motion capture system (Mocap). According to the global operative assessment of laparoscopic skills (GOALS), two experts scored the recorded movies, and based on the mean scores, participants were divided into three groups: novice (<10), intermediate (10≤ to <20), and expert (≤20). Force-based metrics were compared among the three groups using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Principal compo
