Abstract

Clinical Competence Education Medical Endoscopes Equipment Design Eyeglasses Female General Surgery Humans Imaging Three-Dimensional Laparoscopy Learning Curve Male Psychomotor Performance Time Factors
Three-dimensional (3D) surgical imaging systems provide stereoscopic depth cues that are lost in conventional two-dimensional (2D) display systems. Recent improvements in stereoscopic projection technology using passive polarising displays may improve performance of minimally invasive surgical skills. This study aims to identify the effect of passive polarising stereoscopic displays on novice surgeon performance of minimally invasive surgical skills.
