Abstract:Background: Laparoscopic surgery demands high precision and skill, necessitating effective training protocols that account for factors such as hand dominance. This study investigates the impact of hand dominance on the acquisition and proficiency of laparoscopic surgical skills, utilizing a novel assessment method that combines Network Models and electromyography (EMG) data. Methods: Eighteen participants, comprising both medical and non-medical students, engaged in laparoscopic simulation tasks, including peg… Show more
