The Relationship between Tests of Neurocognition and Performance on a Laparoscopic Simulator

Abstract: Objective. To estimate if there is a relationship between the results of tests of neurocognition and performance on a laparoscopic surgery simulator. Methods and Materials. Twenty participants with no prior laparoscopic experience had baseline cognitive tests administered (Trail Making Test, Part A and B (TMT-A and TMT-B), Grooved Peg Board Test, Symbol Digit Modalities Test, Symbol Digit Recall Test, and Stroop Interference Test), completed a demographic questionnaire, and then performed laparoscopy using a s… Show more

“…Interestingly, recently Kuzbari et al have reported that laparoscopic performance may be related to measures of the frontal lobe function [28]. This raises the larger question of how we may need to select future candidates for surgical training based, in part, on innate abilities, psychomotor information and skills acquisition.…”
