TL;DR
Experienced laparoscopic surgeons performed the tasks significantly faster, with less error, more economy in the movement of instruments and the use of diathermy, and with greater consistency in performance, showing high internal measurement consistency.
Abstract
VR is a useful tool for evaluating the psychomotor skills needed to perform laparoscopic surgery.

1,383 Citations1993Daniel J. Deziel, Keith W. Millikan +4 more
It is demonstrated that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is associated with low rates of morbidity and mortality but a significant rate of bile duct injury, which is significantly lower at institutions that had performed more than 100 cases.
The American Journal of SurgeryThe learning curve for laparoscopic cholecystectomy
473 Citations1995The Southern Surgeons Club, Michael J. Moore +1 more
While surgeons appear to learn laparoscopic cholecystectomy rapidly, institutions might consider requiring surgeons to move beyond the initial learning curve before awarding privileges.

Three standardized laparoscopic drills have been tested in 150 trainees and demonstrate the incremental acquisition of skills that correlate with improved performance in a challenging and complex Laparoscopic surgical skill, intracorporeal suturing.
BMJAssessing operative skill
356 Citations1999Ara Darzi, Samuel G. Smith +1 more
Pressure is mounting for surgeons to demonstrate that they can operate well, maintain their performance, and deliver acceptable results, but a large number of failures are needed before statistical significance is reached.
The American Journal of SurgeryWhither minimal access surgery: tribulations and expectations
292 Citations1995A. Cuschieri
The development of minimal access surgery has raised issues that extend beyond the technical aspects of operative patient care and has given prominence to economic concerns that transcend the ongoing debate concerning the relative cost benefit of the new surgical approach versus conventional open surgery.

Studies in health technology and informaticsValidation Of Virtual Reality To Teach And Assess Psychomotor Skills In Laparoscopic Surgery: Results From Randomised Controlled Studies Using The MIST VR Laparoscopic Simulator
264 Citations1998N Taffinder, Chris Sutton +3 more
The MIST VR simulator can objectively assess a number of desirable qualities in laparoscopic surgery, and can distinguish between experienced and novice surgeons, and quantified the beneficial effect of a structured training course on psychomotor skill acquisition.
EndoscopyVirtual Reality Training in Laparoscopic Surgery: A Preliminary Assessment of Minimally Invasive Surgical Trainer Virtual Reality (MIST VR)
245 Citations1999Anthony G. Gallagher, McClure +3 more
Virtual reality training represents a potential, viable solution for junior endoscopists, for overcoming the "fulcrum effect", in a replicable, safe learning environment which allows objective and reliable quantification of skill levels by trainers.
JAMAPredictors of Laparoscopic Complications After Formal Training in Laparoscopic Surgery
218 Citations1993William A. See
The rate of complications associated with the clinical learning curve can be decreased by additional education following an initial course in laparoscopy and an ongoing clinical association with surgeons performing similar procedures decreases long-term complication rates.

The introduction of a mandatory Basic Surgical Skills Course (BSSC), by The Royal College of Surgeons of England underlines the need for objective assessment of trainees' manual dexterity, and the MIST VR (Minimally Invasive Surgery Trainer -Virtual Reality) system is developed to provide trainees with a realistic and assessable environ.
The American Journal of SurgeryAssessment of innate ability and skills for endoscopic manipulations by the Advanced Dundee Endoscopic Psychomotor Tester: predictive and concurrent validity
129 Citations1999Alasdair I.M Macmillan, A. Cuschieri
A good correlation between performance on ADEPT and independent consultant clinical assessment of operative skills (concurrent validity) is confirmed and the system identifies aspects of performance that do not improve with practice and thus could be used to predict ultimate level of operative skill.
The American Journal of SurgeryA comparison between randomly alternating imaging, normal laparoscopic imaging, and virtual reality training in laparoscopic psychomotor skill acquisition
92 Citations2000Julie-Anne Jordan, Anthony G. Gallagher +3 more
The results show that virtual reality training may provide faster skill acquisition with particular reference to automation of the fulcrum effect and MIST VR provides a new way of training laparoscopic psychomotor surgical skills.
