“…Of particular concern is learner motivation, which plays a very important role in learning [80] and has been shown to correlate with achievement [81]. According to Ericsson, motivation is one of the most important determinants in the development of expertise [82]. The majority of the study participants were not aspiring to a surgical career and they may therefore not have been appropriately motivated or recognized the utility of the simulation exercises.…”

“…Assessment based on In-Training Evaluation Reports (ITERs) [9] is subjective, expensive, and prone to undesirable side effects, such as a halo effect [10]. The halo effect is a result of influenced perception of the performance in one área (e.g., laparoscopic task) by the performance in another área (e.g., relationship between trainee and mentor) [11].…”

Training and assessment paradigms for laparoscopic surgical skills are evolving from traditional mentortrainee tutorship towards structured, more objective and safer programs. Accreditation of surgeons requires reaching a consensus on metrics and tasks used to assess surgeons' psychomotor skills. Ongoing development of tracking systems and software Solutions has allowed for the expansión of novel training and assessment means in laparoscopy. The current challenge is to adapt and include these systems within training programs, and to exploit their possibilities for evaluation purposes. This paper describes the state of the art in research on measuring and assessing psychomotor laparoscopic skills. It gives an overview on tracking systems as well as on metrics and advanced statistical and machine learning techniques employed for evaluation purposes. The later ones have a potential to be used as an aid in deciding on the surgical competence level, which is an important aspect when accreditation of the surgeons in particular, and patient safety in general, are considered. The prospective of these methods and tools make them complementary means for surgical assessment of motor skills, especially in the early stages of training. Successful examples such as the Fundamentáis of Laparoscopic Surgery should help drive a paradigm change to structured curricula based on objective parameters. These may improve the accreditation of new surgeons, as 1 To whom correspondence and reprint requests should be addressed at Bioengineering and Telemedicine Centre (GBT), ETSI Telecomunicación, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM).

“…Ideally, this feedback must come in two forms: formative and summative [18][19][20]. Formative feedback will direct the trainees' progress during the training process, giving them useful information to immediately correct their mistakes.…”

Background: Cognitive skills training for minimally invasive surgery has traditionally relied upon diverse tools, such as seminars or lectures. Web technologies for e-learning have been adopted to provide ubiquitous training and serve as structured repositories for the vast amount of laparoscopic video sources available. However, these technologies fail to offer such features as formative and summative evaluation, guided learning, or collaborative interaction between users.
